Detecting which selected item (in a ListView) spawned the ContextMenu (Android)

Question

I have a ListView that will allow the user to long-press an item to get a context menu. The problem I\'m having is in determining which ListItem they long-press

Answer 1

We have used with success:

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected
(
MenuItem item
)
    {
    if (!AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo.class.isInstance (item.getMenuInfo ()))
        return false;

    AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo cmi =
        (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo ();

    Object o = getListView ().getItemAtPosition (cmi.position);

    return true;
    }

Answer 2

this is another way on how to create context menu n how to delete the item selected here is the whole code

     public class SimpleJokeList extends Activity {
public static final int Upload = Menu.FIRST + 1;
public static final int Delete = Menu.FIRST + 2;
int position;
ListView lv;
EditText jokeBox;
Button addJoke;
MyAdapter adapter;
private ArrayAdapter<String> mAdapter;
private ArrayList<String> mStrings = new ArrayList<String>();
String jokesToBeAdded;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
    setContentView(R.layout.simplejokeui);



    lv=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.jokelist);
    addJoke=(Button)findViewById(R.id.addjoke);
    jokeBox=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.jokebox);


    mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mStrings);


    registerForContextMenu(lv);
    listItemClicked();
    addJokes();

private void addJokes() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    addJoke.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            jokesToBeAdded=jokeBox.getText().toString();
            if(jokesToBeAdded.equals("")){
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "please enter some joke", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            else{
                lv.setAdapter(mAdapter);
                mAdapter.add(jokesToBeAdded);
                jokeBox.setText(null);
            }   
        }
    });
}
private void listItemClicked() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int arg2, long arg3) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            position=arg2;
            return false;
        }
    });
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
        ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
    populateMenu(menu);
    menu.setHeaderTitle("Select what you wanna do");

}
private void populateMenu(ContextMenu menu) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     menu.add(Menu.NONE, Upload, Menu.NONE, "UPLOAD");
        menu.add(Menu.NONE, Delete, Menu.NONE, "DELETE");
}
 @Override
    public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) 
    {
     return (applyMenuChoice(item) || super.onContextItemSelected(item));
    }


private boolean applyMenuChoice(MenuItem item) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (item.getItemId()) 
    {   
         case Delete:

             String s=mAdapter.getItem(position);
             mAdapter.remove(s);
            // position--;
             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Congrats u HAve Deleted IT", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return (true);
    }
    return false;
}
