10. For showing icon in popupmenu reflection in used-

void showPopupWindow(View view) {       PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, view);       try {             Field[] fields = popup.getClass().getDeclaredFields();             for (Field field : fields) {                   if ("mPopup".equals(field.getName())) {                         field.setAccessible(true);                         Object menuPopupHelper = field.get(popup);                         Class<?> classPopupHelper = Class.forName(menuPopupHelper.getClass().getName());                         Method setForceIcons = classPopupHelper.getMethod("setForceShowIcon", boolean.class);                         setForceIcons.invoke(menuPopupHelper, true);                         break;                   }             }       } catch (Exception e) {             e.printStackTrace();       }       popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.popupmenu, popup.getMenu());       popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {             public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {                   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You Clicked : " + item.getTitle(),      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();                   return true;             }       });       popup.show(); }

11. On button click we will call this function , we just have to pass the View. Open activity_main.xml -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:gravity="center"     android:orientation="vertical" >     <Button         android:id="@+id/btnShowPopup"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_gravity="center"         android:text="Show Popup" /> </LinearLayout>
