Answer 1

Instead of having an actual overflow menu you could "cheat" a little bit. Have an icon in your actionbar that looks like the overflow icon. You should set showAsAction to always on this MenuItem. OnClick of the overflow icon, you show a ListPopupWindow that's anchored to the MenuItem view. If the ListPopupWindow doesn't show up where you want it to, you can call ListPopupWindow.setHorizontalOffset() and ListPopupWindow.setVerticalOffset()
