abstract member OnContextItemSelected : Android.Views.IMenuItem -> bool
override this.OnContextItemSelected : Android.Views.IMenuItem -> bool

The context menu item that was selected.

Returns

Boolean

boolean Return false to allow normal context menu processing to proceed, true to consume it here.

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

This hook is called whenever an item in a context menu is selected. The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities.

Use MenuItem#getMenuInfo() to get extra information set by the View that added this menu item.

Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.
