PopupMenu is not positioned properly inside RecyclerView

Question

I'm making an Android app to load data into a RecyclerView with an ImageView inside as the overflow button. When users click it, a PopupMenu is displayed with options to choose. I had managed to show it but the position does not seem right. Please look at the screenshots.

Only the first two items seem OK. Here are the source code:

view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
    final PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(context, view);
    final Menu menu = popupMenu.getMenu();

    popupMenu.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_item_action, menu);
    popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(onMenuItemClickListener);

    switch (Global.listMode) {
      case Global.LIST_STYLE_NORMAL: {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_delete).setVisible(false);
        break;
      }
      case Global.LIST_STYLE_FAVORITE: {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_add_to_favorite).setVisible(false);
        break;
      }
      case Global.LIST_STYLE_WATCH_LIST: {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_add_to_watch_list).setVisible(false);
        break;
      }
      case Global.LIST_STYLE_DOWNLOAD: {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_download).setVisible(false);
        break;
      }
    }

    itemPosition = (int) view.getTag(R.id.tag_item_position);
    popupMenu.show();
  }
});

Can you guys point me out the issue, I had took hours for searching but still found nothing up now.

P/S: The clicked button is marked with red circle.

Any helps would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Luckily, I've just found the way to solve the problem:

• Use android.widget.PopupMenu not android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu
• Replace final PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(context, view); with final PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(context, v);

Honestly, I don't know why, just try it and voila!
