Context Menu in Android

Context Menu:-

Android context menu appears when user press long click on the element. It is also known as floating menu.

It doesn't support item shortcuts and icons.

To show a context menu on long click, most clients will want to call registerForContextMenu(View) and overrideonCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu, View, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo).
