I want to open my context menu via menu options but I do not know what to declare in the view area, anyhelp would be appreciated.

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        Intent serverIntent = null;
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        
        case R.id.directioncontrolmenu:
            // OpenChange Direction Pad menu
//What should I declare view here as? So I could call the context menu.
            openContextMenu();

            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
			ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
		if (v == findViewById(R.id.directioncontrolmenu)) {
			menu.add(100,101,1, "Dpad only");
			menu.add(100,102,3, "Up and Down Button With Gyroscope");
