Change Popup menu background color

I wasn't satisfied with the accepted answer since it doesn't really explain why the OPs custom popup style isn't being applied--not just the background, but also things like the text color--so I did my own experimentation.

It's important to note there is a difference between the popup created by the Toolbar (when it has menu items) and showing one yourself with PopupMenu. These are governed by different theme attributes. Also, be aware there are two PopupMenu classes: android.widget.PopupMenu, and android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu.

The theme attribute you need to style PopupMenus you show explicitly is android:popupMenuStyle or popupMenuStyle. You have a few options to achieve proper application of your custom style:

(1) Use android:popupMenuStyle in the theme of the activity (or app)

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- if using android.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
    <!-- if using android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style/>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@color/popupBackground</item>
</style>

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, anchorView);

Note this requires nothing extra in your layout file.

(2) Use a ContextThemeWrapper

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- nothing special -->
</style/>

<style name="CustomPopupTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <!-- if using android.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
    <!-- if using android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@color/popupBackground</item>
</style>

ContextThemeWrapper ctw = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.CustomPopupTheme);
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(ctw, anchorView);

Note how this doesn't use R.style.PopupMenu directly when constructing the ContextThemeWrapper. This seems a bit roundabout, but it's useful if you want to keep the popup theme separated from activity or app themes (perhaps only some popups need your special theme, for example).

(3) Use your AppBarLayout's Context

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- nothing special -->
</style/>

<style name="AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- if using android.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
    <!-- if using android.support.v7.widget.PopupMenu -->
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@color/popupBackground</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
    <!-- changes the background of the Toolbar's popup -->
    <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/popupBackground</item>
</style>

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/appbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/AppBarOverlay">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/PopupOverlay"/>

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

AppBarLayout appBar = (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(appBar.getContext(), anchorView);

Since you already have a theme overlay for the AppBar, you can use it to hold your popup theme references. This would also work with the Toolbar's context, at least given the current layout, although note that app:popupTheme is not actually relevant here since it affects the Toolbar's popup and not your PopupMenu. Also note how similar this is to option 2 above, which should clue you in to how the android:theme attribute works under the hood ;)

In my experiments, android:itemBackground only worked when I used it in place of android:colorBackground in the PopupOverlay style. However, it's better to use android:colorBackground because that will change the popup's window color, leaving the rounded corners and the selectable item highlight/ripple of the items intact.

Android change background color of popup menu

To change the color of the Options Menu in Android, changing themes and styles won't help. You have to initialise LayoutInflater Factory Class.

   @Override
   public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
   MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
   inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
   getLayoutInflater().setFactory(new Factory() {
   @Override
   public View onCreateView(String name, Context context,
   AttributeSet attrs) {
   if (name .equalsIgnoreCase(“com.android.internal.view.menu.IconMenuItemView”)) {
   try {
   LayoutInflater f = getLayoutInflater();
   final View view = f.createView(name, null, attrs);
   new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
   public void run() {

   view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.your_color);

   ((TextView) view).setTextColor(Color.your_color);
   }
   });
   return view;
   } catch (InflateException e) {
   } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
   }
   }
   return null;
   }
   });
   return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
   }

popup menu background color change not working

You can customize the background color using the android:popupBackground attribute.

  <!-- Popup Menu -->   
  <style name="MyPopup" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@color/custom</item>
  </style>

You can configure globally this style in your app theme using the popupMenuStyle attribute:

  <!-- Base application theme. -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
     ....
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/MyPopup</item>
  </style>

Just use:

PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, anchor);
popup.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.custom_menu, popup.getMenu());
popup.show();

Currently PopupMenu uses colorOnPrimary to define the textColor. To change it you have to define a textAppearance:

  <style name="MytextAppearanceLargePopupMenu" parent="@style/TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Subtitle1">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorAccent</item>
  </style>

and then in your app theme adding this attribute:

  <!-- Base application theme. -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
    <item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">@style/MytextAppearanceLargePopupMenu</item>
  </style>

Android: how to change background color in popupmenu

I solved the problem using this code:

Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(getContext(), R.style.PopupMenu);
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(wrapper, v);
