Get row position in onCreateContextMenu

Question

I'm trying to create a context menu that changes the available options depending on which row was clicked.

But I can't figure out how to get the row position in the listview for row that was clicked, until after the menu is created.

It is not obvious at all, but here's the code:

   public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)
   {    
        AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
        int position = info.position;

@TusharAgarwal I'm facing similar problem, have you found any alternative – Vinay Bhargav Jul 17 '14 at 11:26
@VinayBhargav Have you registered for contextMenu ? like .. `registerForContextMenu(getListView());` – Tushar Agarwal Jul 18 '14 at 06:59
@TusharAgarwal yeah .. i'm using gridview .. I've gone through many posts .. nothing helped me :| – Vinay Bhargav Jul 18 '14 at 07:32
I've got it working finally, I was using custom GridView in which `getContextMenuInfo()` method was not implemented. I've posted [here](http://vinaybhargav.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/android-floating-context-menu-for-listviewgridview/) in case if someone need a sample. – Vinay Bhargav Jul 20 '14 at 08:35

The above solution did not work for me. Here is what I used:

@Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
                                    ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, context.getString(R.string.tabTitleEnrolment));
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, context.getString(R.string.tabTitleAfterCare));
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, context.getString(R.string.contextMenuDelete));

        pos = getPosition();
    }
