What can I use instead of Context Menu in android? [closed]

Answer 1

You can use the PopupWindow which starts from API level 1.

In PopupWindow you can actually design something with XML Layout file. You can include anything (TextView,Button,ImageView,...) Like : PopUp Window XML :

Main Activity XML :

And you can Pop It Up in Activity like :

package com.example.popup;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.PopupWindow;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Button open;
    LayoutInflater inflater;
    View popUpView;
    PopupWindow popupWindow;
    Button close;

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

        open = (Button)findViewById(R.id.idOpen);
        open.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                popupWindow.showAsDropDown(open);
            }
        });

        inflater =(LayoutInflater) getBaseContext().getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        popUpView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_window,null);
        popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popUpView, WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        close = (Button)popUpView.findViewById(R.id.idClose);
        close.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                popupWindow.dismiss();
            }
        });


    }
}

HOPE THIS WILL HELP, HAPPY CODING :)
