Question

I having some difficulty implementing a context menu into my android application. My first problem was I was trying to implement OnCreateContextMenu inside of OnCreate but I kept getting an error saying:

void is an invalid type for the variable onCreateContextMenu

I fixed this problem by putting onCreateContextMenu outside of OnCreate. Now my problem lies with OnContextItemSelected. My error occurs on the line: public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem menu). The errors are:

• implements android.view.View.OnLongClickListener.onLongClick
• Syntax error, insert “}” to complete MethodBody

Here is the code:

BaconStripsButton.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                 boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)
                 {
                 if (item.itemId() = 0)
                 {
                     Toast ringtone = Toast.makeText(startingPoint.this, "Ringtone added Successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
                 return true;
                 }
                return false;
                 }
            }
        });

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Justin

No need to use onContextItemSelected Inside onlongClick of button.Just Override OnContextItemSelected(); and register ContextMenu to btn.No need to setOnlongClickListener.

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
                            ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
 super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
 inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
 }

Then override

@Override

public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.edit:
editNote(info.id);
return true;
case R.id.delete:
deleteNote(info.id);
return true;
 default:
 return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
 }

}
then finally registerContextMenu(button);
