I want exact popup menu below of actionbar as below screenshot
Correction screenshot:
My code snippet:
<menu 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" tools:context=".MainActivity">
<item android:id="@+id/action_filter"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_filter_white_18dp"
android:title="@string/action_filter"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<item android:id="@+id/action_label"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_add_circle_outline_white_18dp"
android:title="@string/action_label"
app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
<item android:id="@+id/action_settings"
android:title="@string/action_settings"
app:showAsAction="never" />
Set the theme at android manifest to
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"
When working with AppCompat Theme, below code help you.Either Kitkat or Lollipop
Make your style.xml like below
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/black</item>
<item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">@style/OverflowMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">5.0dp</item>
<!--<item name="android:popupBackground">#FFF</item>-->
</style>
As per my code this is exact sotution by changing style.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/text_white</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu.Example</item>
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">@style/OverflowMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupMenu.Example" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ListPopupWindow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#efefef</item>
</style>
<style name="OverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<!-- Required for pre-Lollipop. -->
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<!-- Required for Lollipop. -->
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
If you want to keep using ActionBar
and AppCompat
theme rather than ToolBar
or Holo
theme, you can use this code:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">@style/MyOverflowMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="MyOverflowMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:overlapAnchor" tools:ignore="NewApi">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4.0dip</item>
</style>
This worked for me.
You can achieve this by style property
overlapAnchor= false
<style name="toolBarStyle" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="popupTheme">@style/toolbarPopup</item>
</style>
<style name="toolbarPopup" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ListPopupWindow"> <!--ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light-->
<item name="android:popupBackground">#AF0000</item>
<item name="overlapAnchor">false</item>
<item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">5dp</item>
</style>
and set that style in AppTheme like below
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- to avoid overlay of popup window in toolbar -->
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">@style/toolBarStyle</item>
</style>
