Crearting context menus

[Shaver Sport]

Hey Jake,

I'm having a problem using the menuinflater with a contextmenu in one of my fragments.  The code is:

import com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater;

import com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu;

import android.view.ContextMenu;

  @Override

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

        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);

        MenuInflater inflater = getActivity().getSupportMenuInflater();

        inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu, menu);

    }

The compiler complains saying MenuInflater takes a Menu, not a ContextMenu.  Is using the supportMenuInflater not supported with ContextMenus?

Thanks!

For context menus you should use the regular menu inflater since it uses the regular menu classes.

Thanks, Jake.  That did the trick.

Thanks for this question and the reply. I just wanted to add for others that you basically need to use native Android Menu/MenuItem/MenuInflater when using context menus to avoid issues.

public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View view, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {

...

android.view.MenuInflater inflater = (android.view.MenuInflater) getMenuInflater();

inflater.inflate(R.menu.list_context_menu, (android.view.Menu) menu);

...

}

public boolean onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem item) {

}

Just to be clear, for options menus we use sherlock classes, and for context menus we use androids?

Yep.
