How to create context menu for RecyclerView

Question

How do I implement context menu for RecyclerView? Apparently calling registerForContextMenu(recyclerView) doesn\'t work. I\'m calling it from a fra

Answer 1

In my case I had to use data from my fragment in the onContextItemSelected() method. The solution I ended up going with was to pass an instance of the fragment into my adapter and register the view item in the view holder:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MyListAdapter.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
    final Object rowObject = myListItems.get(position);

    // Do your data binding here

    viewHolder.itemView.setTag(position);
    fragment.registerForContextMenu(viewHolder.itemView);
}

Then in onCreateContextMenu() you can save the index to a local variable:

selectedViewIndex = (int)v.getTag();

and retrieve it in onContextItemSelected()
