Change popup menu style - not working

I also tried the solution mentioned above, but my popupmenu color has not changed, so I ended up doing as follows:

1.Created a custom drawable with required color as follows:

popup_color_drawable.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<color
android:color="@color/colorPrimary"/>
</item>
<item>
<color
android:color="#655611"/>
</item>
</selector>

Added state_pressed to get select effect

2.In my styles.xml, added following code:

<style name="MyPopupMenu" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:itemBackground">@drawable/popup_color_drawable</item>
</style>

I am using Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar as my base theme for app.

3.Then in my activity

public void showpopup(View view){
Context wrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.MyPopupMenu);
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(wrapper, view);
popup.inflate(R.menu.popup_menu);
popup.show();
}

Following is the result I got by using this code

Hopes this helps you.

Customizing popup menu style

For the OverflowMenu you can define in your app theme the actionOverflowMenuStyle attribute.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight">
<item name="actionOverflowMenuStyle">@style/popupOverflowMenu</item>
</style>

With:

  <style name="popupOverflowMenu" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.PopupMenu.Overflow">
<item name="android:popupBackground">@drawable/my_mtrl_popupmenu_background</item>
</style>

The drawable/my_mtrl_popupmenu_background.xml file:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="?attr/colorSurface"/>

<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="4dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="4dp"
android:topLeftRadius="4dp"
android:topRightRadius="4dp"/>

</shape>

It the original file there is the padding:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="?attr/colorSurface"/>

<corners
..../>

<padding
android:bottom="8dp"
android:top="8dp"/>

</shape>

For a popup you can use:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight">
<item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/popupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="popupMenu" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">@drawable/my_mtrl_popupmenu_background</item>
</style>

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.

How to set the background colour of a Popup menu?

Add popupMenu style to your AppTheme

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

then at mainifest.xml

<application
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
</application>
