dialog_fragment.java

package com.example.meunueexample;  import android.app.alertdialog; import android.app.dialog; import android.content.dialoginterface; import android.os.bundle; import android.widget.toast;  /**  * created aq on 9/10/2017.  */ public class dialogfragment extends android.app.dialogfragment {     @override     public dialog oncreatedialog(bundle savedinstancestate) { // override method ake dialog box         alertdialog.builder thedialog = new alertdialog.builder(getactivity()); // jiss activity ka oper na show hona hy         thedialog.settitle("sample dialog");         thedialog.setmessage("hlw aq");          thedialog.setpositivebutton("ok", new dialoginterface.onclicklistener() { // on click listener on button clicked             @override             public void onclick(dialoginterface dialog, int which) {                 toast.maketext(getactivity(), "clicked ok", toast.length_short).show();             }         }); // place semicolon there         thedialog.setnegativebutton("cancel", new dialoginterface.onclicklistener() { // on click listener on button clicked             @override             public void onclick(dialoginterface dialog, int which) {                 toast.maketext(getactivity(), "clicked cancel", toast.length_short).show();             }         }); // place semicolon there          return thedialog.create();     } // may change abndroid version android manifest , build.gradle } 

you can change behaviour creating style vertical offset, so:

<style name="overflowmenu" parent="widget.appcompat.popupmenu.overflow">     <!-- required pre-lollipop. -->     <item name="overlapanchor">false</item>     <item name="android:dropdownverticaloffset">-4.0dip</item>     <!-- required lollipop. -->     <item name="android:overlapanchor">false</item>     <item name="android:dropdownverticaloffset">4.0dip</item> </style> 

you can apply style in theme:

<item name="actionoverflowmenustyle">@style/overflowmenu</item>
