Null In While Using Context Menu For Recyclerview

I have read a lot of STACK questions and tried implementing everything possible. but i keep getting null for AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextM

Solution 1:

I finally managed to get the Selected Item Id as you requested.

In the case of this line

AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfoinfo= (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;

menuinfo will always be null and It's reported many times but still not solved. I hardly managed to get the position of selected List Item and I will give you some hints of that.

extend View.OnLongClickListener

publicclassViewHolderextendsRecyclerView.ViewHolder implementsView.OnCreateContextMenuListener, View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener

inside ViewHolder assign setOnLongClickListener

public ViewHolder(View v) {
            super(v);               
            v.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this);
            v.setOnLongClickListener(this);

        }

then onLongClicklooks like this

@OverridepublicbooleanonLongClick(View v) {    
            recyclerViewClickListener.recyclerViewListClicked(this.getPosition());
            returnfalse;
        }

Where recyclerViewClickListener is an Interface and recyclerViewListClicked is a method

publicinterfaceRecyclerViewClickListener
{    
    publicintrecyclerViewListClicked(int position);
}

Then in your Activity create a globalVariable which should be a class level variable and set its value inside the override method which looks like

@OverridepublicintrecyclerViewListClicked(int position) {
        globalVariable = position;
        return position;
    }

Then after that you can use that globalVariable as selected items position like here

@OverridepublicbooleanonContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        Log.d("mySelectedItem", ""+ globalVariable) //use the globalVariable as you needreturnsuper.onContextItemSelected(item);

    }
