How to an anchor (View) can add multiple List popup window and positioning each listpopupwindow to the anchor?

Question

As the title, I'd like to associate multiple List Popup Window to a anchor (a view). For example: one above, one below, one left and one right of the anchor. But I have no idea if it's possible? Can you explain my problem? 1) How to add multiple ListPopupWindows to a anchor? 2) If above condition is possible, how would I be able to position each ListPopupWindow to the anchor?

Your comments would be appreciated!

Everything is possible in Android! :) I have no time to write for you, but here is the hint.

Create a layout xml file for a grid (TableLayout seems to be the best, but RelativeLayout or nested LinearLayout-s will also do):

    @id/topLeft       @id/toP      @id/topRight
    @id/left           Anchor      @id/right
    @id/bottomLeft    @id/bottom   @id/bottomRight

All placeholder views are declared as FrameLayout. When you need to add what you call "popup window" (name it popupView) use something like this:

     ((ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.right)).addView(popupView);
