Android Components > Feature > Context Menu

A component for displaying context menus when long-pressing web content.

Usage

Setting up the dependency

Use Gradle to download the library from maven.mozilla.org (Setup repository):

implementation "org.mozilla.components:feature-contextmenu:{latest-version}"

Integration

ContextMenuFeature subscribes to the selected Session automatically and displays context menus when web content is long-pressed.

Initializing the feature in a Fragment (onViewCreated) or in an Activity (onCreate):

contextMenuFeature = ContextMenuFeature(
    fragmentManager,
    sessionManager,

    // Use default context menu items:
    ContextMenuCandidate.defaultCandidates(context, tabsUseCases, snackbarParentView)
)

Forwarding lifecycle events

Start/Stop events need to be forwarded to the feature:

// From onStart():
feature.start()

// From onStop():
feature.stop()

Customizing context menu items

When initializing the feature a list of ContextMenuCandidate objects need to be passed to the feature. Instead of using the default list (ContextMenuCandidate.defaultCandidates()) a customized list can be passed to the feature.

For every observed HitResult (Session.Observer.onLongPress()) the feature will query all candidates (ContextMenuCandidate.showFor()) in order to determine which candidates want to show up in the context menu. If a context menu item was selected by the user the feature will invoke the ContextMenuCandidate.action() method of the related candidate.

ContextMenuCandidate contains methods (create*()) for creating a variety of standard context menu items that can be used when customizing the list.

val customCandidates = listOf(
    // Item from the list of standard items
    ContextMenuCandidate.createOpenInNewTabCandidate(context, tabsUseCases),

    // Custom item
    object : ContextMenuCandidate(
        id = "org.mozilla.custom.contextmenu.toast",
        label = "Show a toast",
        showFor = { session, hitResult -> hitResult.src.isNotEmpty() },
        action = { session, hitResult ->
            Toast.makeText(context, hitResult.src, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    )
)

contextMenuFeature = ContextMenuFeature(
    fragmentManager,
    sessionManager,
    customCandidates)
