hi all
I want to create a context menu when LongClick is hitted. As
result mapview is opened successfully; but the LongClick got no
response. Would you like to give me a hand how to solve it? Below is
the complete code. Thank you very much.

I am just working on the same thing:

This in onCreate works for me:

myPointOfInterestView.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(new View.OnCreateContextMenuListener() {
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
menu.add(0, 1, 0, "Open Detail page");
}
});

Thanks for your response. I can't still get it to work. Would you like to share your code with me ? Thank you very much.

in
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
make sure you return true or
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
such that the click event gets delegated.

Then you need


/**
* This is called after a long press
*/
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case 1:
// do something here
break;
// more case options here
default:
return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
return true;
}


That should work.

Hi
I am facing the same problem have you solved this issue .

I am one of the guys that cannot make the solutions declared above, so i define this (ugly) solution:

* define a handler in the ui activity
override its handleMessage method, so that when a specified message is received (for example:1) it will trigger activity's openContextMenu method.
* define an overlay and add to mapview
* in the overlay override onTouchEvent such that:
when action_down
take the touch points (Px, Py)
take timestamp (T)
trigger a thread (i will mention above it, called it as ThreadX)
when action_move
if touch points are in a defined range of Px and Py do nothing (in my example my range is 5 pixels)
else set T as -1
when other event modes
set T as -1
* in ThreadX (in its run method-my thread class implements Runnable)
sleep for 3 seconds
if T != -1 and the difference between current timestamp and T is greater or equal to 3 seconds, call the handler declared in the ui activity with the specified message

i know that this an ugly solution, but it works

Hi All -

Did anyone find the solution to this problem? I cant seem to get it work as well.

Thanks,

Raul

Hi,
I also had the same problem but I used "openContextMenu" routine to get around the clutter.
It seems that long click is not working with mapviews,So i used "On tap" event.
Steps are as follows
1. register your map view for context menu



2. Create your context menu(I have created it in xml and added it to resource,the infalted it using "Menu infaltor"


3.You have to override the "OnCreatecontextmenu" and inflate the menu


4.Finally "on tap" method youa can open your context menu


it seems working fine and serve the purpose of context menu linked with long press.You can see that on scrolling the map it will not fire the "on tap".

IS there any other way around ?

hmm does not work for me (there is no onTap method i could override).

i have an osmdroid Mapview:

Code: Select all

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      
       [...]
               
       this.mapViewOSM.setLongClickable(true);
       this.registerForContextMenu(mapViewOSM);
   }


Code: Select all

@Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu cm, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {       
       super.onCreateContextMenu(cm, v, menuInfo);
       System.out.println("Yay i was called! ");
       cm.setHeaderTitle("Optionen: ");
       cm.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Aktion 1"); 
       cm.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Aktion 2");       
    }


but for some reason, the ContextMenu is NEVER called .

what i try to achieve:

when the user "long clicks" on the OSMMapView, a contextmenu should pop up for further userinteraction!
