I have Listview. And I want to add overflow menu to each listview's item. How to do it? Now I add button to every item and show dropdown menu when user clicks on this button. But I want to replace this ordinary button with overflow one.

1. Add an ImageView or Button to trigger the menu on the right of your listview items. To get the "overflow" icon, see this question: How do I get a copy of the Android overflow menu icon?
2. Add an onClickListener to your ImageView or Button

3. On your onCreate() method, create a popup menu like this:

   popupMenu = new PopupMenu(this, findViewById(R.id.anchor)); popupMenu.getMenu().add(...); popupMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);

4. In your onClickListener trigger the display of the popup menu

   popupMenu.show();
