I'm currently working on a mp3 library for Android. Thing is, I want the user to pick up the name of the playlist he would like to add (useful innit ?). Therefore, I created a context menu on the playlists list which allows the user to choose between 3 options, create, delete, rename. Why I'm trying to do is to display an EditText field if the user clicks on "create", so that he can write the new playlist's name. However, I can't manage to display it. Here are the listeners I made for the menu :
//creation onLongClickListener : display the menu on long lick
playlistView.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener(){
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
((Activity) context).openContextMenu(v);
return true;
}});
//contextMenuListener of the view
playlistView.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(new View.OnCreateContextMenuListener(){
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu cMenu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
MenuInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.playlist_menu, cMenu);
lastLongClickedView = v;
}});
In the menu.xml file I did this :
<item android:id="@+id/playlist_create"
android:title="Create a playlist"
>
<menu>
<EditText
android:id="@+id/playlist_choice"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:hint="@string/playlist_name"
android:lines="1"
/>
</menu>
</item>
I tried with an item, it's displayed, but the EditText. I assume the mistake I'm making is pretty stupid yet I can't find it :(
Thank you for your attention.
