Question

I have a ListView with some elements. I want to retrieve the id of element that I run the contextual menu for (by long-clicking). But following code:

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_adapter);

    /*non relevant code was omitted*/
    registerForContextMenu(this.getListView());

}

    @Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo info){

    Log.i("view", String.valueOf(v.findFocus().getId()) );

    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu,  v, info);
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_adapter_context_menu, menu);
}

returns always the same id, that is the id of ListView view and not ListView element id. I have tried some another options but coldn’t find the solution. How to sort it out?

Answer 1

if you want to get the list item id then use

lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                    int arg2, long arg3) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return false;
            }
        });
