Question

I am trying to use contextual action bar for the first time and I have this design problem: In my main activity I have set an adapter to my list:

    // Create an adapter
    Adapter = new ToDoItemAdapter(this, 
                                  R.layout.list_date_item, 
                                  toDoListCursor, 
                                  from, 
                                  to,
                                  toDoDBAdapter);
    List.setAdapter(Adapter);

Now I need to setOnLongClickListener to each list item. where can I do that cause if I write it in my activity I don't have access to each 'view' like I have in the Adapter but if I write it in the Adapter class I don't have access to ActionMode.Callback or more important - to my logical methods such as - RemoveItem, ShareItem etc.

I would like to know what is the best practice to do this.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I have Done this in item click of ListView.

Note: i have used actionbarsherlock library.

enter image description here

check this code:

i have used OnClickListener same way you have to use OnLongClickListener

public OnLongClickListener longclick = new OnLongClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            mMode = startActionMode(new AnActionModeOfEpicProportions());
            Log.d("you are click on Ratings", "you are click on Ratings");
            return true;
        }
    };

EDIT: without actionbarsherlock

using AppCompart Support Lib use

startSupportActionMode

without AppCompart

startSupportActionMode

OTHER TIPS

I think that the best way in your case it is something like this

    List.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
            @Override

            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, lon id) {
//              TextView childItem = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
                return true;
            }
        });
