Answer 1

Although I was using AppCompat Theme, but I still had the same problem

I found out that problem is in the declaration of the PopupMenu, and the context I am passing to it.

I was using it like that:

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(getApplicationContext(),v)

But it should be like this:

 PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MyActivity.this,v)

Answer 2

I think this might be happening because you are using getBaseContext() at Toast.makeText . Try using getApplictaionContext() or EditPhotosActivity.this

Answer 3

Make sure your have set right theme. android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu expect the Application to have AppCompat theme, else it will throw exception when you try to show the PopupMenu

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

But, android.widget.PopupMenu will work without this theme.

Answer 4

I had the same issue when creating PopupMenu. I determined that PopupMenu was using:

import android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu;

The fix was to edit it to:

import android.widget.PopupMenu;
