Answer 1

Ok, thanks alot for the help from the others which clear my doubts on the getItemId since it returns the ID that I assigned to the menu item. In my case, I wanted to know which button was clicked before the contextmenu was created.

To do this, I simply create a long variable to store the button that was clicked. The ID of the button can be obtained as in the following:

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
        ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
    menu.setHeaderTitle("Send As..");
    menu.add(Menu.NONE, SEND_AS_TEXT, SEND_AS_TEXT, "Send As Text");
    menu.add(Menu.NONE, SEND_AS_IMAGE, SEND_AS_IMAGE, "Send As Image");
    btnId = v.getId(); //this is where I get the id of my clicked button
}

and later on I'll only need to refer to this btnId to do whatever I want.
