Question
Solution
The first is the "proper" way as in the default behaviour you get. I don't think the difference is meaningful, but to achieve the second the coder must have mucked around, and I don't think it's worth it..
OTHER TIPS
I don't see how those two are related. Your first link shows the options menu with "more", which is what you were talking about in your first sentence. The second link shows the context menu after a long press on a list item - that's a completely different item. They both have their uses.
The menu is used for options that are global to the current activity. The context menu is intended for options that relate to the specific item you picked.
If you see an app that uses a context menu for "more", then it's not using the normal Android menu system. I've even seen Google apps use that (Maps, I believe), and I don't know why you would do that.
