PopupWindow

public class PopupWindow
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.widget.PopupWindow


This class represents a popup window that can be used to display an arbitrary view. The popup window is a floating container that appears on top of the current activity.

Animation

On all versions of Android, popup window enter and exit animations may be specified by calling setAnimationStyle(int) and passing the resource ID for an animation style that defines windowEnterAnimation and windowExitAnimation. For example, passing Animation_Dialog will give a scale and alpha animation.
A window animation style may also be specified in the popup window's style XML via the popupAnimationStyle attribute.

Starting with API 23, more complex popup window enter and exit transitions may be specified by calling either setEnterTransition(Transition) or setExitTransition(Transition) and passing a Transition.
Popup enter and exit transitions may also be specified in the popup window's style XML via the popupEnterTransition and popupExitTransition attributes, respectively.

showAsDropDown

Added in API level 19
void showAsDropDown (View anchor, 
                int xoff, 
                int yoff, 
                int gravity)

Displays the content view in a popup window anchored to the corner of another view. The window is positioned according to the specified gravity and offset by the specified x and y coordinates.

If there is not enough room on screen to show the popup in its entirety, this method tries to find a parent scroll view to scroll. If no parent view can be scrolled, the specified vertical gravity will be ignored and the popup will anchor itself such that it is visible.

If the view later scrolls to move anchor to a different location, the popup will be moved correspondingly.

Parameters
anchor View: the view on which to pin the popup window
xoff int: A horizontal offset from the anchor in pixels
yoff int: A vertical offset from the anchor in pixels
gravity int: Alignment of the popup relative to the anchor

                int yoff)

Display the content view in a popup window anchored to the bottom-left corner of the anchor view offset by the specified x and y coordinates.

Display the content view in a popup window at the specified location. If the popup window cannot fit on screen, it will be clipped.
