I'd like to have a context menu on the cardview items of a recyclerview.
How to create context menu for RecyclerView did not really provide a solution for that.
I can create a OnClickListener and a OnLongClickListener on the ViewHolder. I can also put in an OnCreateContextMenu, but onCreateContextMenu is never called.
Can anybody provide an example?
If you dont set a long click listener the menu will open on long click event with:
public static class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
implements View.OnCreateContextMenuListener, View.OnClickListener,
MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener {
MyViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
itemView.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
MenuItem myActionItem = menu.add("Some menu item");
myActionItem.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
// Menu Item Clicked!
return true;
}
}
hello guys, you can't directly implement these method like onClickListener, OnContextMenuListener etc. because RecycleView extends android.view.ViewGroup so we cant directly use these method. we can implement these methods in ViewHolder adapter class. we can use context menu in RecycleView like this way
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnCreateContextMenuListener {
TextView tvTitle;
ImageView ivImage;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
tvTitle =(TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
v.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this);
}
Now we follow the same procedure while implements the context menu.
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
menu.setHeaderTitle("Select The Action");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Call");//groupId, itemId, order, title
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "SMS");
}
if you get any difficulties ask in comment.
I maybe late to the party but I have an working solution. I have made an gist for it.
Add Context Menu to RecyclerView
ActivityName.java
//Import Statements
public class ActivityName extends AppCompatActivity {
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_birthdays);
//Recycle View
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mAdapter = new BirthdaysListAdapter(data, this);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}
RecyclerAdapter.java
//Import Statements
public class BirthdaysListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<BirthdaysListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
static Context ctx;
private List<typeOfData> Data;
public BirthdaysListAdapter(List<typeOfData> list, Context context) {
Data = list;
this.ctx = context;
}
BirthdaysListAdapter() {
}
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnCreateContextMenuListener {
public TextView name;
public TextView Birthday;
public ImageView colorAlphabet;
public TextView textInImg;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.name);
Birthday = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.Birthday);
colorAlphabet = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.colorAlphabet);
textInImg = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textInImg);
v.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this); //REGISTER ONCREATE MENU LISTENER
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v //CREATE MENU BY THIS METHOD
ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
new BirthdaysListAdapter().info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
MenuItem Edit = menu.add(Menu.NONE, 1, 1, "Edit");
MenuItem Delete = menu.add(Menu.NONE, 2, 2, "Delete");
Edit.setOnMenuItemClickListener(onEditMenu);
Delete.setOnMenuItemClickListener(onEditMenu);
}
//ADD AN ONMENUITEM LISTENER TO EXECUTE COMMANDS ONCLICK OF CONTEXT MENU TASK
private final MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener onEditMenu = new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
DBHandler dbHandler = new DBHandler(ctx);
List<WishMen> data = dbHandler.getWishmen();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case 1:
//Do stuff
break;
case 2:
//Do stuff
break;
}
return true;
}
};
}
public List<ViewBirthdayModel> getData() {
return Data;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return super.getItemId(position);
}
@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_view_birthdays, parent, false);
ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(view);
return vh;
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.name.setText(Data.get(position).getMan().getName());
holder.Birthday.setText(Data.get(position).getMan().getBday());
holder.colorAlphabet.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(Data.get(position).getColor()));
holder.textInImg.setText(String.valueOf(Data.get(position).getMan().getName().toUpperCase().charAt(0)));
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return Data.size();
}
private int position;
public int getPosition() {
return position;
}
public void setPosition(int position) {
this.position = position;
}
}
If you want to avoid manually programatically defining the context menu inside your adapter then you can use a PopupMenu instead and inflate it from a proper menu.xml
This example below does exactly that and allows you to pass in a listener that will receive select and menu item presses back in your Activity or Fragment that setup this RecyclerView in the first place.
public class CustomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<CustomObject> objects;
private OnItemSelectedListener listener;
private final boolean withContextMenu;
class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnCreateContextMenuListener, PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener {
@BindView(R.id.custom_name)
TextView name;
@BindView(R.id.custom_value)
TextView value;
ViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
view.setOnClickListener(this);
if (withContextMenu) {
view.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this);
}
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int position = getAdapterPosition();
if (listener != null) {
listener.onCustomerSelected(objects.get(position));
}
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(v.getContext(), v);
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.custom_menu, popup.getMenu());
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);
popup.show();
}
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
if (listener != null) {
CustomObject object = objects.get(getAdapterPosition());
listener.onCustomerMenuAction(object, item);
}
return false;
}
}
public CustomerAdapter(List<CustomObject> objects, OnItemSelectedListener listener, boolean withContextMenu) {
this.listener = listener;
this.objects = objects;
this.withContextMenu = withContextMenu;
}
public interface OnItemSelectedListener {
void onSelected(CustomObject object);
void onMenuAction(CustomObject object, MenuItem item);
}
@Override
public CustomerAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.snippet_custom_object_line, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(v);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(CustomAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
CustomObject object = objects.get(position);
holder.name.setText(object.getName());
holder.value.setText(object.getValue());
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return objects.size();
}
}
