Answer 1

In the layout where you are giving toolbar, specify theme by app:popupTheme="@style/MyPopupMenu"

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="#2196F3"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    style="@style/DrawerArrowStyle"
    app:popupTheme="@style/MyPopupMenu">

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Answer 2

<style name="AppTheme1" parent= "android:Theme.DeviceDefault">

    <item name="android:actionBarPopupTheme">@style/popupNew</item>
</style>

<style name="popupNew" parent="android:ThemeOverlay.Material.Light">
    <item name="android:colorBackground">#ffffff</item>
</style>

Answer 3

Add popupMenu style to ur AppTheme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

manifest.xml:

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
.............
</application>

You can use custom layout like this..

PopupMenu pop = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, v);
pop.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, pop.getMenu());
pop.show();

Design layout how you want..hope this helps..

Answer 5

Please Refer How to style PopupMenu? for more explanation. I was facing the same issue, searched alot but found the solution in the link mentioned.

PopupMenu is created in following way :

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(context, view);

PopupMenu takes the styling of the context which is passed, Passing Activity as the context solved my problem.

Answer 6

Please Add Following lines in style xml file, I hope this will help for material design application. Style.xml

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>

    <!-- To change the popup menu and app text color  -->
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorPrimary</item>

    <!-- To change the background of options menu-->
    <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/skyBlue</item>
</style>
