yeah it would be great if the menu had a hidden field per item where you could stash an ID or something. seems not, but i suppose you could override the category or group ID etc.
one thing you could do is have a map of menu texts back to your list views. when the onContextItemSelected() goes off, get the menu title, and look at the map to find the appropriate list view. once you have that, you can ask it for anything. seems like i'm missing something simple here though. >That works great, thankyou. > >One more thing, though.
