Anonymous User 2290 14 Jun 2016 
  PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(getApplicationContext());
        
        // inflate your layout or dynamically add view
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getWindow().getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_layout, null);
        popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
        popupWindow.setWidth(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        popupWindow.setHeight(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        popupWindow.setContentView(view);      
        popupWindow.showAsDropDown(v);

Sure, I can help you with that.

The code that you are using to show a popup window in Android is missing some important elements. Here is the corrected code:

Code snippet

import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.PopupWindow;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Inflate the popup window layout
        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
        View popupView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_window, null);

        // Create the popup window
        PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popupView, 500, 500);

        // Show the popup window
        popupWindow.showAtLocation(findViewById(R.id.main_layout), Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
    }
}

This code will create a popup window that is 500 pixels wide and 500 pixels high. The popup window will be displayed in the center of the main layout.

The following are some of the important elements that were missing from your original code:

  • The LayoutInflater class is used to inflate the popup window layout.
  • The PopupWindow class is used to create and show the popup window.
  • The showAtLocation() method is used to show the popup window at a specific location.

 Hi Linda
 Use below code
 PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(getWindow().getContext());

instead of
 PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(getApplicationContext());
