Android V7 Support Library Popup Menu

Question

I\'m trying to implement a PopupMenu with the Support V7 Library. All compiles fine but when I try to call:

    PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
            


        

Answer 1

Your layout file "abc_popup_menu_item_layout.xml" already shows a height defined.

Either "?attr/dropdownListPreferredItemHeight" is something from a different theme or library (such as ActionBarSherlock), or the error is coming from a different layout file.

Also, if you swap out "?attr/dropdownListPreferredItemHeight" for something like "60dp" does the error go away?

Answer 2

You might want to check if you have an appropriate theme specified in your manifest file:

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

Answer 3

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);

what's "this" refer to ? the first parameter must be a context like Activity, not ApplicationContext!!

Answer 4

Add this line to your Activity inside your manifest.xml

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat"

Answer 5

Also check if there is another style that is applied within each activities in manifest.xml. This will override Theme.AppCompat in application tag.

Answer 6

@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light resovled the problem for me. @style/Theme.AppCompat is a dark theme, it deosn't fit my applicatoin.
