Introduction

In this article, I will show you how to create a pop-up menu Android app using Android Studio. Android Popup menu displays the menu below the anchor text if space is available otherwise, it displays the menu above the anchor text. It disappears if you tap outside the pop-up menu.

Requirements

Android Studio version 2.3.3
Little bit XML and JAVA knowledge.
Android Emulator (or) Android mobile
Download link (Android Studio)

Steps to be followed

Follow these steps to create a pop-up menu Android app. I have included the source code below.

Step 1

Open Android Studio and start a new Android Studio Project.

Step 2

You can choose your application name and choose where your project is stored. If you wish to use C++ for coding the project, mark the "Include C++ support", and click "Next" button.

Step 3

Now, select the version of Android and select the target Android devices. We need to choose the SDK level which plays an important role in running the application.

Step 6

Go to activity_main.xml. This XML file contains the designing code for your Android app.

The XML code is given below.

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="abu.popup.MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="POP UP " />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="62dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:text="Show Popup" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 6

Go to Main Activity.java. This Java program is the backend language for Android.

Android

The Java code is given below.

package abu.popup;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.PopupMenu;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, button1);
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, popup.getMenu());
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(); }
});
}
}
