itemHolder.title.setText(localItem.title);
itemHolder.artist.setText(localItem.artistName);
setOnPopupMenuListener(itemHolder, i);
}
private void setOnPopupMenuListener(ItemHolder itemHolder, final int position) {
itemHolder.popupMenu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override

Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(mContext, R.style.PopupMenu);
final PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu(wrapper, v);
menu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.popup_play:
break;
case R.id.popup_next:
break;
}
return false;
}
});
menu.inflate(R.menu.popup_song);
menu.show();
}
});
}
Please help me with it.

After reading comments, you need a contextual menu.
Inherit your PopupMenu from Widget.PopupMenu.
<style name="AppTheme.PopupMenu" parent="#android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/yourcolor</item>
</style>
I would suggest wrap your toolbar in AppBarLayout and in AppBarLayout theme set your menu style.
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/app_bar"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
Here are styles.
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- text color for toolbar and popup menu-->
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/AppTheme.PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/AppTheme.PopupMenu</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupMenu" parent="#android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
<!-- background color of popup menu-->
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/colorBlack</item>
</style>
Finally, create your popup menu with AppBarLayout context.
AppBarLayout bar= (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
PopupMenu p = new PopupMenu(bar.getContext(), findViewById(item.getItemId()));

How to change android top toolbar menu item icon size

How can I change the size of a menu item in the android toolbar? Currently the menus have a very small size and I want to increase the size. If anyone knows please help me to find a solution.

You may design a custom layout and add it as your actionlayout. ALso make sure you do not add any icon in menu.xml file.
<item android:id="#+id/homes"
android:title="homes"
app:actionLayout="#layout/your_custom_layout"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
Then give min_height in your custom layout.

I ran into this problem too and the only workaround I was able to have was to use smaller images. A size of 24dp from the icons here (https://design.google.com/icons) fits nicely into my toolbar.

I suggest you to read this blog for custom toolbar.
https://stablekernel.com/using-custom-views-as-menu-items/
instead of adding drawable_icon to your menu-xml file, you can use "app:actionLayout" in that menu-xml file to specify the other xml-file(where you are going to create custom toolbar icon).

Just increase the size of the vector image(in the right) from the default 24x24 to a different size but after a certain size it won't scale up. The size might seem odd if it is put beside a view inflated(with orange background in the left) in the custom toolbar as shown in the image, only way to fix this is to inflate another view in the toolbar with the vector as the background.

options menu action bar

Can anyone see why my help icon isn't showing in the action bar? I have pasted the relevant parts of my code below
Thank you
menu topline.xml:
`
<item
android:id="#+id/gohome_id"
android:title="Home"
trial10:showAsAction="ifRoom"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/helpme_id"
android:title="help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_questionmark"
android:orderInCategory="200"
trial10:showAsAction="always"
/>
`
styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
</style>
<style name="CustomActionBarTheme"
parent="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/logo3</item>
<item name="android:icon">#drawable/leaflogo</item>
</style>
<style name="orangestyle" parent="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/orange</item>
</style>'
This is in my activity java:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.topline, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.gohome_id:
gohome();
break;
}
return true;
}
finally, my Manifest:
<activity
android:name=".test1"
android:label="Test"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme" >
</activity>

try this
<item
android:id="#+id/gohome_id"
android:title="Home"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/helpme_id"
android:title="help"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_questionmark"
android:showAsAction="always"
/>

Did you put your item in a menu tag?
<menu ....>
<item.../>
<item.../>
</menu>
If yes, change trial10:showAsAction with app:showAsAction. Just alt enter if there's an error on app.
Also delete that order line from home item

mShareActionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(this);
item.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {

As an example for implementing it as Action view, "Emanuel Moecklin" is the owner of following Code
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
final Context context = actionBar.getThemedContext();
final String[] entries = new String[] { "Entry 1", "Entry 2", "Entry 3" };
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context,
R.layout.sherlock_spinner_item, entries);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.sherlock_spinner_dropdown_item);
// create ICS spinner
IcsSpinner spinner = new IcsSpinner(this, null,
R.attr.actionDropDownStyle);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(IcsAdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Item selected: " + entries[position],
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(IcsAdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
// configure custom view
IcsLinearLayout listNavLayout = (IcsLinearLayout) getLayoutInflater()
.inflate(R.layout.abs__action_bar_tab_bar_view, null);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
listNavLayout.addView(spinner, params);
listNavLayout.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT); // <-- align the spinner to the
// right
// configure action bar
actionBar.setCustomView(listNavLayout, new ActionBar.LayoutParams(
Gravity.RIGHT));
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

As far as I know, it is impossible to move Action bar features from the left to the right. You can, however, add a Spinner as an Action View and customize it so that it looks and behaves exactly like the Spinner from the Action bar list navigation.

Add UI components at the Right side of Actionbar using ToolBar:
