context menu not working

Hey guys I was looking at the 'Diaro' and the 'my Diary' app available on the Android market. The items get displayed in a list view, and on long clicking an item, a context menu with various options(like edit, delete etc ) open up. I tried implementing the same in my app which is some what similar. But the problem is in the onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) I can't get the contents of the item clicked. Here's the code for onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item):

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item
            .getMenuInfo();
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.edit:


        break;v

          // rest of the codetion
    }

    return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}

Can somebody tell me as to how can I get the id of the item clicked on the list view from this function? I can really use some help here:)

I had the same problem for a while and found out that I had onMenuitemselected() in my activity and this was listening to context menu item rather than on contextitemselected(), hope this helps.

You must register yourView for contextMenu, like this :

list = getListView();
registerForContextMenu(list);

and you must use onCreateContextMenu for build it

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu contextMenu,
                                View v,
                                ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info =
            (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
    selectedWord = ((TextView) info.targetView).getText().toString();
    selectedWordId = info.id;

    contextMenu.setHeaderTitle(selectedWord);
    contextMenu.add(0, CONTEXT_MENU_EDIT_ITEM, 0, R.string.edit);
    contextMenu.add(0, CONTEXT_MENU_DELETE_ITEM, 1, R.string.delete);
}

you have the listView item in your contextMenu title and it's id in selectedWordId
