android - PopupMenu with icons

Android popup menu has a hidden method to show menu icon. Use Java reflection to enable it.
Use Popup menu with icon using MenuBuilder and MenuPopupHelper

MenuBuilder menuBuilder =new MenuBuilder(this);
    MenuInflater inflater = new MenuInflater(this);
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menuBuilder);
    MenuPopupHelper optionsMenu = new MenuPopupHelper(this, menuBuilder, view);
    optionsMenu.setForceShowIcon(true);

    // Set Item Click Listener
    menuBuilder.setCallback(new MenuBuilder.Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemSelected(MenuBuilder menu, MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.opt1: // Handle option1 Click
                    return true;
                case R.id.opt2: // Handle option2 Click
                    return true;
                default:
                    return false;
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onMenuModeChange(MenuBuilder menu) {}
    });


    // Display the menu
    optionsMenu.show();

menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/opt1"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:title="option 1" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/opt2"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:title="option 2" />
</menu>

or use below one

This way works if you're using AppCompat v7. It's a little hacky but significantly better than using reflection and lets you still use the core Android PopupMenu:

PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu(getContext(), overflowImageView);
menu.inflate(R.menu.popup);
menu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() { ... });

MenuPopupHelper menuHelper = new MenuPopupHelper(getContext(), (MenuBuilder) menu.getMenu(), overflowImageView);
menuHelper.setForceShowIcon(true);
menuHelper.show();

res/menu/popup.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@+id/menu_share_location" android:title="@string/share_location" android:icon="@drawable/ic_share_black_24dp"/> </menu>
