Quick menu events

A number of events may be raised when a user interacts with the quick menu. For example, events will be raised when the quick menu is shown, dismissed, or when a quick menu item is clicked. .

If your activity is using PdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment2 for viewing PDF files, you can set your listener by calling:

C#

1mPdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment.CurrentPdfViewCtrlFragment.QuickMenuClicked += (sender, e) =>
2{
3    // Handle click event...
4}
5
6mPdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment.CurrentPdfViewCtrlFragment.QuickMenuShown += (sender, e) =>
7{
8    // Called when the quick menu is shown
9}
10
11mPdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment.CurrentPdfViewCtrlFragment.QuickMenuDismissed += (sender, e) =>
12{
13    // Called when the quick menu is dismissed
14}

Or you can register the listener using the ToolManager:

C#

1mToolManager.QuickMenuClicked += (sender, e) =>
2{
3    // Handle click event...
4}
5
6mToolManager.QuickMenuShown += (sender, e) =>
7{
8    // Called when the quick menu is shown
9}
10
11mToolManager.QuickMenuDismissed += (sender, e) =>
12{
13    // Called when the quick menu is dismissed
14}

Hide quick menu items

If there are tools that you would like to remove from the quick menu, you can hide them by calling ToolManager.DisableToolMode:

C#

1mToolManager.DisableToolMode(new ToolManager.ToolMode[] {
2    ToolManager.ToolMode.TextSquiggly,
3    ToolManager.ToolMode.TextStrikeout
4});

Then, when you long-press on text you will see:
