With a more recent version there is no context menu anymore, but a contextual
action bar. (Don't know about older versions of android).
This feature is interesting, but I can only find the following use cases:
1.) You need to change one action's contexts. No real improvement - one click
less - here.
2.) You need to change many anctions' contexts. That's where it gets
interesting. You longclick, select some actions and click the "context change"
button/icon ('@' would be a good choice btw). There you can assign multiple
contexts to multiple actions. Useful in inbox.
But there's one problem: different contexts. To explain this, here some
examples.
Example 1) Inbox, where no actions has contexts. Or select any actions with the
same contexts. That's no problem because all actions' contexts are equal. That
way we could display these contexts in the context picker without problem. Each
context can either be set or not-set.
Example 2) Actions with different contexts - action a with context c_a and
action b with context c_b. When we select those two actions, how are these
contexts displayed in the context picker? Do we allow these contexts to be
changed, and if so: how do we handle changes?
We could display c_a and c_b in a different state, neither set nor not set.
That way you'll know that these contexts are set differently for the selected
actions. The simplest method of allowing changes would be: click -> set, click
-> not set, click -> "original" setting, click -> set, ...
Don't know how to display that in gui though.
