In Android API11+ I'm displaying a button inside a PopupWindow. I'd like to show a PopupMenu when the button is clicked, without closing the PopupWindow. Is this possible at all? I'm instantiating and initilizing the PopupMenu, but when I call popupMenu.show() I'm getting this error (LogCat + partial call stack):
02-25 13:31:38.281: W/WindowManager(528): Attempted to add window with token that is a sub-window: android.os.BinderProxy@41316cc8. Aborting. 02-25 13:31:51.257: D/AndroidRuntime(7643): Shutting down VM 02-25 13:31:51.257: W/dalvikvm(7643): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40a711f8) 02-25 13:31:51.320: E/AndroidRuntime(7643): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 02-25 13:31:51.320: E/AndroidRuntime(7643): android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@419c3458 is not valid; is your activity running? [rest of stack]
Is this because the PopupMenu uses another PopupWindow which does not seem te be allowed from a PopupWindow? Same code runs OK when I hook it up to a button in the Activity content view.
Thanks in advance,
You can't anchor a PopupMenu from a PopupWindow view what you can do is define or anchor from a view inside roow view or top-level view here is an example:
main.xml:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/IVoptionsMenuInvis" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="52dp" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_weight="25" android:paddingBottom="6dp" android:paddingTop="6dp"> </FrameLayout>
popupwindow.xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/settingseditback" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/IVoptionsMenu" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="52dp" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_weight="25" android:onClick="showSettingsPopup2" android:paddingBottom="6dp" android:paddingTop="6dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_actionbar_overflow_dark" /> </LinearLayout>
and finally your MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); } . . . public void showSettingsPopup2(View v) { PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(MainActivity.this, findViewById(R.id.IVoptionsMenuInvis)); popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this); popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, popup.getMenu()); popup.show(); } }
