Question

public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu , View v         


        

Answer 1

While the API doesn't support icons in Context Menu, but we can always fake it by inflating a Dialog with our own view that looks like context menu.

Copy-pasting the following files exactly will do the job:

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

List contextMenuItems;
Dialog customDialog;

LayoutInflater inflater;
View child;
ListView listView;
ContextMenuAdapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    child = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_context_menu, null);
    listView = (ListView) child.findViewById(R.id.listView_context_menu);

    contextMenuItems = new ArrayList();
    contextMenuItems.add(new ContextMenuItem(getResources().getDrawable(
            R.drawable.ic_launcher), "Facebook"));
    contextMenuItems.add(new ContextMenuItem(getResources().getDrawable(
            R.drawable.ic_launcher), "Scanner"));

    adapter = new ContextMenuAdapter(this,
            contextMenuItems);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v,
                int position, long id) {
            customDialog.dismiss();
            if (position == 0)
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "00", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();

            if (position == 1)
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "11", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();

        }
    });

    customDialog = new Dialog(this);
    customDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    customDialog.setContentView(child);
    customDialog.show();
    }

}

ContextMenuItem.java

public class ContextMenuItem {

Drawable drawable;
String text;

public ContextMenuItem(Drawable drawable, String text) {
    super();
    this.drawable = drawable;
    this.text = text;
}

public Drawable getDrawable() {
    return drawable;
}

public void setDrawable(Drawable drawable) {
    this.drawable = drawable;
}

public String getText() {
    return text;
}

public void setText(String text) {
    this.text = text;
}

}

ContextMenuAdapter.java

public class ContextMenuAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context context;
List listContextMenuItems;
LayoutInflater inflater;

public ContextMenuAdapter(Context context,
        List listContextMenuItems) {
    super();
    this.context = context;
    this.listContextMenuItems = listContextMenuItems;
}

static class ViewHolder {
    protected ImageView imageView;
    protected TextView textView;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    ViewHolder viewHolder;
    if (convertView == null) {
        inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.context_menu_item, parent,
                false);
        viewHolder.imageView = (ImageView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.imageView_menu);
        viewHolder.textView = (TextView) convertView
                .findViewById(R.id.textView_menu);
        convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
    } else {
        viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
    }

    viewHolder.imageView.setImageDrawable(listContextMenuItems
            .get(position).getDrawable());
    viewHolder.textView.setText(listContextMenuItems.get(position)
            .getText());
    return convertView;

}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return listContextMenuItems.size();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return null;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return 0;
}

}
