Add the following piece of code to your activity:

PopupWindow popupwindow_obj; // create object

popupwindow_obj=popupDisplay();  // initialize in onCreate()

popupwindow_obj.showAsDropDown(clickbtn,-40, 18); // where u want show on view click event

public PopupWindow popupDisplay() { // disply designing your popoup window
    final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(this); // inflet your layout or diynamic add view

    View view; 

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)   getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); 

    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);

    Button item = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.button1);

    popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
    popupWindow.setWidth(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    popupWindow.setHeight(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    popupWindow.setContentView(view);

    return popupWindow;
}

Create an XML in res/layout directory and name it mylayout.xml
