You can simply use PopupMenu, for example add the following to a button when clicked:

public void showPopup(View v) {
    PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
    MenuInflater inflater = popup.getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, popup.getMenu());
    popup.show();
}

Kotlin

fun showPopup(v : View){
   val popup = PopupMenu(this, v)
   val inflater: MenuInflater = popup.menuInflater
   inflater.inflate(R.menu.actions, popup.menu)
   popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener { menuItem ->
      when(menuItem.itemId){
         R.id.action1-> {
             
         }
         R.id.action2-> {

         }
      }
      true
   }
   popup.show()
}
