Question

I need to open context menu in oncreate method.
What I do:

public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        cont = new CustomViewContainer(this);
        setContentView(cont);

        this.openContextMenu(cont);
    }
    @Override  
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)
    {  
        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);  
        menu.setHeaderTitle("Select");  
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "a");  
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "b");
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "c");  
    }
}

But so I don’t see the menu. Help please!

As per the openContextMenu(View) documentation, you must call registerForContextMenu(View) first:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    cont = new CustomViewContainer(this);
    setContentView(cont);

    registerForContextMenu(cont);
    openContextMenu(cont);
}
