Android Question ULV - popup menu?

Misterbates said:

I've been searching the forums but can't find an answer and wondered if any other ULV users had already solved this.

I'm using ULV to show a scrollable list of items and wanted to put a "more" image (three vertical dots) on the right of each list item that when pressed would pop-up a context menu over the item.

Any clues or solutions for doing this?

Thanks,
Misterbates.

you display whatever you want over the ULV. I can't see what's blocking you.

I've used thedesolatesoul's id library https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/popup-menu-list-library.11136/#post-62162, but it pops up in the middle of the display.

How do I find the coordinates of the clicked ULV item to position the popup over it?

A simpler method would be to use a popup menu that uses a view as an anchor. You would then use the 3 dot "more" image (view) as the anchor.

Dim Pnl As UltimateLVPanel = ULV.GetVisiblePanels(Position - ULV.GetFirstVisiblePosition)
Dim PositionOnScreen As Int = Pnl.Top + ULV.Top

To know the position of an item (you can try by placing these lines in the ULV_ItemClick event):

B4X:

Dim Pnl As UltimateLVPanel = ULV.GetVisiblePanels(Position - ULV.GetFirstVisiblePosition)
Dim PositionOnScreen As Int = Pnl.Top + ULV.Top
