Add Context Menu to RecyclerView

ActivityName.java

//Import Statements

public class ActivityName extends AppCompatActivity {
    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
    private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_birthdays);


        //Recycle View
        mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
        mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
        mAdapter = new BirthdaysListAdapter(data, this);
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);


    }

RecyclerAdapter.java

//Import Statements


public class BirthdaysListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
    static Context ctx;

    private List Data;


    public BirthdaysListAdapter(List list, Context context) {
        Data = list;
        this.ctx = context;

    }

    BirthdaysListAdapter() {
    }

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnCreateContextMenuListener {
        public TextView name;
        public TextView Birthday;
        public ImageView colorAlphabet;
        public TextView textInImg;


        public ViewHolder(View v) {
            super(v);
            name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.name);
            Birthday = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.Birthday);
            colorAlphabet = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.colorAlphabet);
            textInImg = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textInImg);


            v.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this); //REGISTER ONCREATE MENU LISTENER
        }

        @Override
        public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v                         //CREATE MENU BY THIS METHOD
                                        ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
            new BirthdaysListAdapter().info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
            MenuItem Edit = menu.add(Menu.NONE, 1, 1, "Edit");
            MenuItem Delete = menu.add(Menu.NONE, 2, 2, "Delete");
            Edit.setOnMenuItemClickListener(onEditMenu);
            Delete.setOnMenuItemClickListener(onEditMenu);


        }
//ADD AN ONMENUITEM LISTENER TO EXECUTE COMMANDS ONCLICK OF CONTEXT MENU TASK
        private final MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener onEditMenu = new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {


                DBHandler dbHandler = new DBHandler(ctx);
                List data = dbHandler.getWishmen();

                switch (item.getItemId()) {
                    case 1:
                        //Do stuff
                        break;

                    case 2:
                       //Do stuff

                        break;
                }
                return true;
            }
        };


    }


    public List getData() {
        return Data;
    }


    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {

        return super.getItemId(position);
    }


    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_view_birthdays, parent, false);
        ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(view);
        return vh;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        holder.name.setText(Data.get(position).getMan().getName());
        holder.Birthday.setText(Data.get(position).getMan().getBday());
        holder.colorAlphabet.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(Data.get(position).getColor()));
        holder.textInImg.setText(String.valueOf(Data.get(position).getMan().getName().toUpperCase().charAt(0)));
           }


    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return Data.size();
    }

    private int position;

    public int getPosition() {

        return position;
    }

    public void setPosition(int position) {
        this.position = position;
    }
