Popup Menu
Android Popup Menu displays the menu below the anchor text if space is available otherwise above the anchor text. It disappears if you click outside the popup menu.
The android.widget.PopupMenu is the direct subclass of java.lang.Object class.

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="example.javatpoint.com.popupmenu.MainActivity">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:text="Click"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="example.javatpoint.com.popupmenu.MainActivity">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:text="Click"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
popup_menu.xml
It contains three items as show below. It is created inside the res/menu directory.
File: poupup_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="@+id/one"
android:title="One" />
<item
android:id="@+id/two"
android:title="Two"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/three"
android:title="Three"/>
</menu>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="@+id/one"
android:title="One" />
<item
android:id="@+id/two"
android:title="Two"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/three"
android:title="Three"/>
</menu>
Activity class
It displays the popup menu on button click.
File: MainActivity.java
package example.javatpoint.com.popupmenu;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.PopupMenu;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button button;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Creating the instance of PopupMenu
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, button);
//Inflating the Popup using xml file
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, popup.getMenu());
//registering popup with OnMenuItemClickListener
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
});
popup.show();//showing popup menu
}
});//closing the setOnClickListener method
}
}
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.PopupMenu;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button button;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Creating the instance of PopupMenu
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, button);
//Inflating the Popup using xml file
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, popup.getMenu());
//registering popup with OnMenuItemClickListener
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
});
popup.show();//showing popup menu
}
});//closing the setOnClickListener method
}
}
Output:
