Example of using PopupMenu

Android 3.0(API Level 11) provide android.widget.PopupMenu class, to displays a Menu in a modal popup window anchored to a View. The popup will appear below the anchor view if there is room, or above it if there is not. If the IME is visible the popup will not overlap it until it is touched. Touching outside of the popup will dismiss it.



Create a file /res/menu/popupmenu.xml to define the PopupMenu.

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:id="@+id/group_popupmenu">
<item android:id="@+id/menu1"
android:title="Popup menu item 1"/>
<item android:id="@+id/menu2"
android:title="Popup menu item 2"/>
<item android:id="@+id/menu3"
android:title="Popup menu item 3"/>
</group>
</menu>

package com.AndroidPopupMenu;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.PopupMenu;

public class AndroidPopupMenuActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);

button.setOnClickListener(viewClickListener);
text.setOnClickListener(viewClickListener);
image.setOnClickListener(viewClickListener);


}

OnClickListener viewClickListener
= new OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
showPopupMenu(v);
}

};

private void showPopupMenu(View v){
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(AndroidPopupMenuActivity.this, v);
popupMenu.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popupmenu, popupMenu.getMenu());

popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {

@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
Toast.makeText(AndroidPopupMenuActivity.this,
item.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}
});

popupMenu.show();
}
}
