Implement pop up Menu with margin

Question

I am using the default pop menu and expecting the behavior of the same. Everything is working fine. What my concern is regarding the rendering of pop up menu. My pop up menu sticks to the right of the screen.

I want the behavior as used by Youtube app for android.

I am mainly not able to provide right margin to my pop up menu. Please help. I have tried providing Gravity to PopUp Menu. But Pop Up Menu sticks to the Right of screen.

PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(mContext, anchor, Gravity.LEFT); popupMenu.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_edit_accessory, popupMenu.getMenu()); 

Answer 1

You can change your PopupMenu's position by using the following attributes: gravity, dropDownHorizontalOffset and dropDownVerticalOffset

First set gravity to Gravity.END

popup.setGravity(Gravity.END); 

Then change your dropdown-offsets by creating a style

<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">     <item name="android:dropDownHorizontalOffset">-4dp</item>     <item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">4dp</item> </style> 

If you want to overlap the anchor view use

parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu.Overflow" 

Lastly apply MyPopupMenu to your theme

<item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/MyPopupMenu</item>
