RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #17: You must supply a layout_height attribute whie showing the popupmenu

Question

        public void showPopup(int group,int img_index,JSONArray json_ar,View v){

        PopupMenu pm=new PopupMenu(EditPhotosActivity.this,v);
        pm.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popup_menu, pm.getMenu());          
        pm.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
                return false;
            }
        });
        pm.show();
    }

The showPopup method is being called by an onclick of dynamically created Imagevew. App is getting crashed while executing pm.show().

This is the Error Log.

/This is the piece of code from where showPopup method is called/

                LinearLayout ll_face=(LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.face_linear);

            ImageView imageView1=new ImageView(EditPhotosActivity.this);                                    
            imageView1.setPadding(3,3, 3,3);
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

            imageView1.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
            ll_face.addView(imageView1);

            img_loader.DisplayImage(tmp_json_array.getJSONObject(j).getString("thumb_image"),imageView1);
            final int group=i;
            final int img_index=j;
            imageView1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    showPopup(group,img_index,json_ar,v);

                }
            });

Answer 1

Make sure your have set right theme. android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu expect the Application to have AppCompat theme, else it will throw exception when you try to show the PopupMenu

 android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat"

But, android.widget.PopupMenu will work without this theme.

Answer 2

Although I was using AppCompat Theme, but I still had the same problem

I found out that problem is in the declaration of the PopupMenu, and the context I am passing to it.

I was using it like that:

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(getApplicationContext(),v)

But it should be like this:

 PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MyActivity.this,v)
