mobile - Android List View - delete row button, delete selected button or delete from item click menu?


Android List view activity with item rows. User needs to be able delete some rows.


I know standard way in Android is to use item click menu. But it's 2 clicks. Is it best way?



Answer




It all comes down to how often the user will need to use delete function.


If it's very often, maybe consider adding a button to each list item.


If it's less often you should consider adding it to the items contextual menu (the long press menu). This is standard practice for most things.


I'm guessing when the user presses an item they will be taken to an activity with more information on it. You could add the delete button there or add it to the menu options on that activity (or both if really needed).
