Android Options Menu Without ActionBar?

Question

what I'm looking for is to make an options menu but without the ActionBar. In the Google music app I saw that they have a options menu sort of thing with no action bar. Below is a picture of what I was talking about in the Google music app.

Thank you in advance! :)

That's just a simple popop. You can do that on any view. Throw an icon on a view, like the overflow menu icone and set a click listener on it.

This example is a list of devices (smartphones) in a catalog. I populate the tag with an object so I know which one the user clicks on.

public void showDeviceMenu(View v) {
    PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
    popup.inflate(R.menu.cart_device_menu);
    DeviceTag tag = (DeviceTag) v.getTag();
    final String groupId = tag.groupId;
    final String sku = tag.sku;
    final String productId = tag.productId;
    SpannableStringBuilder text = new SpannableStringBuilder(tag.name);

    text.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, text.length(),
            Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

    popup.getMenu().findItem(R.id.menu_name).setTitle(text);
    invalidateOptionsMenu();
    popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.duplicate_device:
                    duplicateDevice(sku, productId);
                    return true;
                case R.id.update_device:
                    updateWirelessItemInCart(sku,groupId);
                    return true;
                case R.id.delete_device:
                    removeItemFromCart(groupId);
                    return true;
                default:
                    return false;
           }
        }

    });
    popup.show();
}
