Not able to position the popup menu below the view anchor

See original GitHub issue

I am not able to position the popup menu below the view anchor like in this picture:

I have tried to set dropdownGravity = Gravity.BOTTOM without success. I have also tested with other Gravity constants (i.e END, START, TOP, etc.) but wasn’t able to achieve the desired result.

I have something ready which you might try here (See “Custom offsets” sample): https://github.com/zawadz88/MaterialPopupMenu/tree/feature/custom-offsets

Using dropdownGravity seems like a more generic approach though, but it’ll require further investigation as depending on the amount of space available (top/bottom of the screen) the results might differ.

Hi @zawadz88,

Thanks for your time. I also think that it is vital to be able to position the Menu. In my case, I am animating the icon when popup menu is opened and closed. Therefore, this feature was very important to me. Also, I noticed that there is no OnCloseListener. I think that it will be a good enhancement either.

Because of these 2 issues, I decided to create my own custom PopupWindow. Nevertheless, thanks for this great library.
