and this is my oncreatecontextmenu:

    @Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {

    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);   

    SpannableString s;
    s = new SpannableString("item1");
    s.setSpan(new MainActivity.TypefaceSpan(getActivity(), "tahoma.ttf"), 0, s.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    menu.add(s);
    }

what is wrong? I really need to change the context menu font.

I have the same problem. Override onMenuItemSelected and don't use onContextItemSelected.

@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
// THIS FIXED BUG Android 4.0.3 ON LG DEVICES
/* Your code here */        
return false;
}
