How to add a context menu in Android

1. Create an Android XML file of Menu type


2. Add menu options as you preferred. Each menu option should be indicated as <item> XML element.


3. This is my context_menu.xml file.[sourcecode language="xml"]
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
   <item android:id="@+id/item1"   android:title="option1"></item>
   <item android:id="@+id/item2"   android:title="option2"></item>
   </menu>
   [/sourcecode]


4. Override onCreateContextMenu and onContextItemSelected in your Activity.java file
   Add a button in main.xml to respond our context menu.
   [sourcecode language="java"]
   package com.my.option;
   
   import java.util.zip.Inflater;
   import android.app.Activity;
   import android.os.Bundle;
   import android.util.Log;
   import android.view.ContextMenu;
   import android.view.Menu;
   import android.view.MenuInflater;
   import android.view.MenuItem;
   import android.view.View;
   import android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo;
   import android.widget.Button;
   
   public class ContextMenuActivity extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.main);
   
   Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
   registerForContextMenu(b);
   }
   
   @Override
   public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
   ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
   
   MenuInflater inflator = getMenuInflater();
   inflator.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
   
   }
   
   @Override
   public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
   if(item.getItemId() == R.id.item1)
   Log.d("Edit", "Selected : Edit Option");
   if(item.getItemId() == R.id.item2)
   Log.d("Delete", "Selected : Delete Option");
   return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
   }
   }
