Answer 1

Using popupMenu.show() to immediately re-show the popup menu does not work correctly with checkable menu items when changing their checked states.

Here a method that prevents closing the popup menu in the first place. Make sure that onMenuItemClick returns false.

popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {

        item.setChecked(!item.isChecked());

        // Do other stuff

        // Keep the popup menu open
        item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_COLLAPSE_ACTION_VIEW);
        item.setActionView(new View(context));
        item.setOnActionExpandListener(new MenuItem.OnActionExpandListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
                return false;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
                return false;
            }
        });
        return false;
    }
});
