Can we have this menu shown above the anchorView?
I am using this inside a RecyclerView's item and it scrolls the Card just to show this popupMenu.

mPopup.setCallback(this); doesn't work since latest AppCompat lib

Copy link

ghost commented Jul 8, 2016

Exactly. Appcompat 24.0.0 mPopup.setCallback can't invoke.

Support v7 MenuPopupHelper is now hidden and restricted to LIBRARY_GROUP 😢

@miankhalid Did you found a work around. MenuBuilder and MenuPopupHelper both are now restricted to LIBRARY_GROUP

Seems like the only way to use it currently is through reflection https://resocoder.com/2018/02/02/popup-menu-with-icons-android-kotlin-tutorial-code/

Thank you! Works perfectly! Heads up for those using appcombat v7:23.1.1 and up, they changed the packages slightly.

import android.support.v7.view.SupportMenuInflater; import android.support.v7.view.menu.MenuBuilder; import android.support.v7.view.menu.MenuPopupHelper; import android.support.v7.view.menu.MenuPresenter; import android.support.v7.view.menu.SubMenuBuilder;

Just remove .internal from there :)

And now, you replace import android.support.v7 with androidx.appcompat

import androidx.appcompat.view.menu.MenuBuilder;
import androidx.appcompat.view.menu.MenuPopupHelper;
import androidx.appcompat.view.menu.MenuPresenter;
import androidx.appcompat.view.menu.SubMenuBuilder;
