Question

I wanted to create application where items in list ll be editting when you select item and press in menu “Edit”, but items in list dont selecting…

 @Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    final long id = this.getSelectedItemId();

    switch (item.getItemId()) {

        case IDM_EDIT:
            if (id > 0) {     
                CallEditContactDialog(id);
            }
            else {
                Toast.makeText(this, R.string.toast_notify, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
            }
            break;

    }
    return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}

Maybe it is working for android 2nd, but i make it for third too and can test it just on tab 8.9 android 3.2…
Sorry for my english and knowledge in android.

Answer 1

Am i right that you have some items in the list in activity, you want to pres on one of it then press menu button and press Edit ?

I think you have to save id when press on the item in list and then perform change action with this id onOptionsItemSelected…
