Here is what I am trying to implement: when people click on the menu on top right corner of a toolbar, an options menu appears on bottom of the screen. See picture below:

enter image description here

I am not sure what method should I call for the item at the bottom. Can somebody give me some hint on how to implement this?

I implement successfully the icon in the top right menu bar with the code below. But I don't know how to show the options at the bottom of the screen, with width match_parent, and height wrap_content

onClick on the right top corner

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.edit_profile_image_menu, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();

        switch (id) {
            case R.id.more:
                //How to show the 2 option in the bottom of screen here


                return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

Update

After implement the code of Nikesh, the popup shown like this:

UPDATED ANSWER

You can now use Material Design BottomAppBar

  • A bottom app bar displays navigation and key actions at the bottom of mobile screens

SAMPLE CODE

Add below dependencies in your build.gradle

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

Now create 3 menu file in res/menu directory

enter image description here

bottom_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
        android:title="Search"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />
    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_fav"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_favorite"
        android:title="Favorite"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_favorite"
        android:title="Favorite"
        app:showAsAction=""/>
</menu>

nav_drawer_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/navItemOne"
        android:title="Nav Item 1"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>

    <item
        android:id="@+id/navItemTwo"
        android:title="Nav Item 2"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>

    <item
        android:id="@+id/navItemThree"
        android:title="Nav Item 3"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>

toolbar_menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_fav"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_favorite"
        android:title="Favorite"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_search"
        android:title="Search"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/app_bar_settings"
        android:title="Settings"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>

    <item
        android:title="Menu Item 1"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>

    <item
        android:title="Menu Item 2"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>
    <item
        android:title="Menu Item 3"
        app:showAsAction="never"/>

</menu>

Now Create a class name BottomNavigationDrawerFragment to open navigation drawer from bottom

import android.content.Context
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.Gravity
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.Toast
import com.google.android.material.bottomsheet.BottomSheetDialogFragment
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.bottom_nav_layout.*

class BottomNavigationDrawerFragment : BottomSheetDialogFragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.bottom_nav_layout, container, false)
    }
    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState)

        navigation_view.setNavigationItemSelectedListener { menuItem ->
            // Bottom Navigation Drawer menu item clicks
            when (menuItem!!.itemId) {
                R.id.navItemOne -> context!!.toast(" Nav item one is Clicked ")
                R.id.navItemTwo -> context!!.toast(" Nav item Two is Clicked ")
                R.id.navItemThree -> context!!.toast(" Nav item Three is Clicked ")
            }
            // Add code here to update the UI based on the item selected
            // For example, swap UI fragments here
            true
        }
    }

    // This is an extension method for easy Toast call
    fun Context.toast(message: CharSequence) {
        val toast = Toast.makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
        toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 600)
        toast.show()
    }
}

Code of MainActivity

        bottomBar.setOnMenuItemClickListener { menuItem ->

OLD ANSWER

try this attach this PopupMenu in your bottom view click event something like button click event

step 1 create a view at bootom of your layout like this

<View
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/myView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

step 2 create a new_menu.xml file like this

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
    android:id="@+id/temp"
    android:title="@string/str_menu_account_logout"
    android:icon="@drawable/next"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom"></item>

</menu>

now add this code to create option menu in your java file

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.new_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    if (item.getItemId() == R.id.temp) {
        PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(this, findViewById(R.id.myView),Gravity.CENTER);
        popupMenu.inflate(R.menu.home_menu);
        popupMenu.show();
        return true;
    }

    return false;

}
