This way works if you’re using AppCompat v7. It’s a little hacky but significantly better than using reflection and lets you still use the core Android PopupMenu: PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu(getContext(), overflowImageView); menu.inflate(R.menu.popup); menu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() { … }); MenuPopupHelper menuHelper = new MenuPopupHelper(getContext(), (MenuBuilder) menu.getMenu(), overflowImageView); menuHelper.setForceShowIcon(true); menuHelper.show(); res/menu/popup.xml <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <menu xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”> … Read more
