Question

I use an xml to for my ContextMenu, which is like :

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 
  <item android:id="@+id/Ordermenu" android:title="Order">
    <menu android:id="@+id/OrderBySubMenu">
      <item android:id="@+id/OrderByASC" android:title="Order ASC"   /> 
      <item android:id="@+id/OrderByDESC" android:title="Order DESC"  />
      <item android:id="@+id/Cancel" android:title="Cancel"  />
    </menu>
   </item> 
 <item android:id="@+id/ActionAmenu" android:title="Action A"/>
</menu>

I use following code to display the menu, in my onCreateContextMenu

MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.layout.my menu, menu);

I manage option click with following code :

public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
  case R.id.Displaymenu:
     //do stuff
     return true;
  case R.id.OrderByASC:
     //do stuff
     return true;
  case R.id.OrderByDESC:
     //do stuff
     return true;
  default :
     return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}

Starting the Context Menu it display Two options:

• Order
• Action A

Clicking on Order show a submenu :

• Order ASC
• Order DESC
• Cancel

Now, If the user click on cancel (or click on the hardware back button), no action is specified, so it call super.onOptionsItemSelected(item) which go back to my main activity.

How can I manage to go back to the main menu in such case? i.e. diplay the initial :

• Order
• Action A

Answer 1

Finally, it worked only by adding :

case R.id.Cancel:
   openContextMenu(findViewById(selected_view_id));
   return true;

in public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)

selected_view_id is stored by

selected_view_id=v.getId();

in onCreateContextMenu

Hope it will help others.
