Android popup menu

Question

I am making an Android app. I have a list of items displaying. I am looking to create a popup menu just like the one that pops up when you tap the avatar of a contact in the contact list. I have tried looking through the Android reference but can not find it.

Has anyone created one of these popup menus? A link to the reference or a code sample is fine.

Answer 1

What you are describing is called a 'Quick Action'. This is actually a user interface pattern - there isn't an existing widget or anything in the API for this. They discussed it at Google IO (See in this video here, at the 15:40 mark), and also there has been some discussion on how to implement it on stack overflow, specifically this question. If you start digging around (now that you know the name of what you are looking for) you might find more.
