Answer 1

If your are using AppCompact-v7 then you can style PopupMenu as below:

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/popupMenuStyle</item>
</style>

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

NOTE: PopMenu always works with Activity Context, not with Application context.

In Style Your Application Theme

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
     <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
 <item name="android:itemBackground">@color/list_background</item>
 <item name="android:itemTextAppearance">@style/MyActionBar.MenuTextStyle</item>
    </style>

For Text Appearence

 <style name="MyActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
        <item name="background">@color/list_item_title</item>
        <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyActionBarTitle</item>
    </style>
    <style name="MyActionBarTitle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/list_item_title</item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyActionBar.MenuTextStyle"
        parent="style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/list_item_title</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    </style>

And Use App Theme In Menifest like:

<application
        android:name="Your Package"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/launcher_icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

Answer 3

at first define your style for popup menu background in styles.xml file in my case i use this...

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupMenu" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/holo_green_light</item>
</style>

here i want to change popup menu background in a specific activity , so apply theme(android:theme="@style/AppTheme") with activity declaration and it's surely working. another important thing to create popup menu using this code PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(your activity, viewObj);

Answer 4

if you are using AppCompat theme then use

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

</style>

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

otherwise

<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>

Answer 5

Add this to your style.xml file

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

Set the style on Spinner

<Spinner
android:theme="@style/PopupMenu"
android:popupMenuStyle="@style/PopupMenu"/>

This would work for API level 16+ devices too.

Answer 6

Add PopupMenu theme to your AppTheme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="popupTheme">@style/PopupMenuTheme</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenuTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

manifest.xml:

<application
    ...
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    ...
</application>
