That works great, thankyou. One more thing, though. I have tried to mess around with onContextItemSelected() and attempted to get the original text from the list item I clicked through the ContextMenuInfo interface, but there doesn't seem to be a clear way to achieve this. All I basically need to (lets say, set a favorite) is the title or string of the list item I clicked to bring up the context menu.
Thanks.
