Toolbar inflate menu works fine

Answer 1

Looks like I was using

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);

my bad. FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, removes limits for the context menu. (That's the reason, the context menu going out of the screen), Hope that helps for someone

Answer 2

A simple yet-customizable Android drop-down menu. It supports Text with/without Icons, Separators, and even fully customized views

Answer 3

Unfortunately popup menu does not follow the size of the view it is inside and goes off scope. I had the same problem before. And I know it is not the best solution but here it goes:

Create a fake view which is transparent to use as anchor to block the edge from exceeding.

However since it will be floating you cannot place it on the top or bottom side so careful on the height exceeding while trying this.

And by the way do NOT forget to set android:anyDensity="True/False"

Answer 4

Use this in your code:

final PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(v.getContext(), v, Gravity.RIGHT);

if it doesn't work then change the anchor view v. because it can set the position of the popup menu as per your requirement.

Answer 5

You can allow the popup menu to overlap with the anchor view.
