Material Popup Menu ![]()
This library allows to create simple popup menus programmatically with a nice type-safe builder syntax in Kotlin. Menus can be divided into separate sections with optional headers and contain icons.

implementation 'com.github.zawadz88.materialpopupmenu:material-popup-menu:4.1.0'Getting started
To create a popup menu with a single section from an anchor view:
fun onSingleSectionWithIconsClicked(view: View) {
val popupMenu = popupMenu {
section {
item {
label = "Copy"
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_copy_mtrl_am_alpha //optional
callback = { //optional
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Copied!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
item {
labelRes = R.string.label_paste
iconDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this@LightActivity, R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_paste_mtrl_am_alpha) //optional
callback = { //optional
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Text pasted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
item {
label = "Select all"
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_selectall_mtrl_alpha //optional
}
}
}
popupMenu.show(this@LightActivity, view)
}
To create a popup menu with 2 sections and a section title in the second one:
fun onSingleSectionWithIconsClicked(view: View) {
val popupMenu = popupMenu {
section {
item {
label = "Copy"
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_copy_mtrl_am_alpha
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Copied!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
item {
labelRes = R.string.label_paste
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_paste_mtrl_am_alpha
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Text pasted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
}
section {
title = "Other"
item {
label = "Select all"
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_selectall_mtrl_alpha
}
}
}
popupMenu.show(this@LightActivity, view)

Custom views
You can use your own layouts for displaying the items in each section alongside the default layouts provided by the library. E.g.:
fun onCustomItemsClicked(view: View) {
val popupMenu = popupMenu {
dropdownGravity = Gravity.END
section {
item {
label = "Copy"
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_copy_mtrl_am_alpha
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Copied!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
customItem {
layoutResId = R.layout.view_custom_item_checkable
viewBoundCallback = { view ->
val checkBox: CheckBox = view.findViewById(R.id.customItemCheckbox)
checkBox.isChecked = true
}
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Disabled!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
customItem {
layoutResId = R.layout.view_custom_item_large
}
}
}
popupMenu.show(this@LightActivity, view)
}Custom colors
To achieve the above you need to set labelColor and iconColor on each item in a section as shown here:
fun onCustomColorsClicked(view: View) {
val popupMenu = popupMenu {
style = R.style.Widget_MPM_Menu_Dark_CustomBackground
section {
item {
label = "Copy"
labelColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.red)
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_copy_mtrl_am_alpha
iconColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.dark_red)
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Copied!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
item {
label = "Paste"
labelColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.red)
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_paste_mtrl_am_alpha
iconColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.dark_red)
callback = {
Toast.makeText(this@LightActivity, "Text pasted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
}
section {
item {
label = "Share"
labelColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.green)
icon = R.drawable.abc_ic_menu_share_mtrl_alpha
iconColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this@LightActivity, R.color.dark_green)
callback = {
shareUrl()
}
}
}
}
popupMenu.show(this@LightActivity, view)
}To change the popup background color you need to create a custom style and pass it under style to the popup builder above. E.g. to use the primary color you could define the style like this:
<resources>
<style name="Widget.MPM.Menu.Dark.CustomBackground">
<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
</resources>Documentation

FAQ
I want to use the library but I don't know Kotlin
Kotlin is extremely easy to use if you already know Java. Check out the official documentation - it's really great!
I have not migrated to AndroidX. Can I use this library?
If you're still using legacy Android Support libraries you can use version 2.2.0. AndroidX is supported by default since 3.0.0.
Can I use this library on Jelly Bean?
Up to 3.4.0 minimum supported version was API 16 (Jelly Bean) so you can use that version. Since 4.0.0 minimum supported version is API 19 (Kitkat).
