Question

             @Override

Answer 1

Regarding opening a context menu on a short click:

The other solutions posted here didn't work for me because I was using a ListFragment. However the following solution seems to work quite nicely for both a ListFragment and a ListActivity (or just any old listview in general):

public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id){
  l.showContextMenuForChild(v);   
}

It's much more simple and elegant. In fact, this is actually how the ListView class itself initiates the context menu on a long click.
