Android Lollipop, add popup menu from title in toolbar

Question

I\'m unable to see how adding a popup menu from the title is accomplished like is shown in many of the material design examples. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You're going to need to add a Spinner to the Toolbar:

You will then need to disable the default title:

Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

You can then retrieve and setup the Spinner as needed in your Activity/Fragment.
