creating popup menu in android 2.3 GingerBread

Question

I am an intermediate level programmer in android. Now I am developing an app which has a view. When I click that view I have to display a popup menu.

I got the following code from android developer site

public void showPopup(View v) {
    PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
    MenuInflater inflater = popup.getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, popup.getMenu());
    popup.show();
}

But this code is working only on API 11 and above.

Can anyone help me so that I can make a popup menu that supports also GingerBread?

Answer 1

you can use PopupWindow and showAsDropDown() instead.
