Questions tagged [android-contextmenu]

Tag for questions about the creation and use of the Android context menu.

The context menu is a menu that appears after the user long clicked a widget on the screen. The typical scenario of building a context menu in Android is to register the desired view by calling the registerForContextMenu(using the View itself as a parameter) and then overriding the onCreateContextMenu callback of an Activity(the callback is also available for Fragments) to provide the menu to be shown. Extra information about the context menu can be found at:
