So first of all register your listView for a context menu in the onCreate method:

registerForContextMenu(yourListView);

Create the contextmenu by overridig the onCreateContextMenu:

@Override 
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)
{
    AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
    _listPosition = info.position;      // Get Index of long-clicked item

    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
    menu.setHeaderTitle("Choose Action");   // Context-menu title
    menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Edit");  // Add element "Edit"
    menu.add(0, v.getId(), 1, "Delete");        // Add element "Delete"
}

React on clicks in context-menu:

 @Override  
 public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)
 {
      if(item.getTitle() == "Edit") // "Edit" chosen
      {
         // Do stuff
      }
      else if(item.getTitle() == "Delete")  // "Delete" chosen
      {
          // Do stuff
      }
      else 
      {
         return false;
      }

      return true;  
 }

+1, BTW, is depending on the `item.getTitle() == "Edit"` (which might change in a multi-language app) rather than on some index/key/tag is a good idea? — ZigiZ, Jan 22 '14 at 14:16

Next time just spend few minutes and google it yourself:

Override onCreateContextMenu() to create the menu and onContextItemSelected() to handle the click event

You also need to register listView for the contextual menu. You can do it in fragment's onActivityCreated() method:

registerForContextMenu(listView);

You have to register your custom ListView with Context Menu. Use Method registerForContextMenu(listView); . Call this method in onCreate

I would define the onLongClickListener in the getView() method of your overriden ArrayList extension. Just register the view inside the long click listener, using registerForContextView(convertView).

Now in your Activity code, simply define the context menu as you would in any other case:

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
  ...    
  menu.setHeaderTitle(...);
  menu.add(...);
}

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  final int mId = item.getItemId();

  switch (mId) {
    case 0: 
    ...
    break;

  default:
    break;
}

More precision:

 @Override  
        public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {  
        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);  
        TreeViewList v1=(TreeViewList) v; //my custom listview
        AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
        final LinearLayout viewLayout = (LinearLayout) v1.getChildAt(info.position-v1.getFirstVisiblePosition());//if in list many items
        final TextView descriptionView = (TextView) viewLayout
                .findViewById(R.id.list_item_description);
            menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, descriptionView.getText());  
            menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Action 2");  
        }
