Detecting which selected item (in a ListView) spawned the ContextMenu (Android)

by

I do exactly this. In my onCreateContextMenu(...) method, I cast the ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo to AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo. From there, you can get the targetView, which you cast again to the widget. The complete code is available in HomeActivity.java, look for the onCreateContextMenu(...) method.

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu,
                                View v,
                                ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info =
            (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
    selectedWord = ((TextView) info.targetView).getText().toString();
    selectedWordId = info.id;

    contextMenu.setHeaderTitle(selectedWord);
    contextMenu.add(0, CONTEXT_MENU_EDIT_ITEM, 0, R.string.edit);
    contextMenu.add(0, CONTEXT_MENU_DELETE_ITEM, 1, R.string.delete);
}

Note that I store the selected text as well as the select id in private fields. Since the UI is thread confined, I know the selectedWord and selectedWordId fields will be correct for later actions.
