android - Change popup menu style - not working -

i'm trying apply style android popup menu. menu shown on button click. in example want set black menu background.

so, menu layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">     <item         android:title="item 1"         android:id="@+id/menu1">     </item>      <item         android:title="item 2"         android:id="@+id/menu2">     </item>  </menu> 

next, activity layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:paddingbottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"     android:paddingleft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingright="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingtop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"     tools:context="com.example.michal.popupmenu.mainactivity">      <textview         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="hello world!"/>      <button         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="new button"         android:id="@+id/button"         android:layout_alignparentbottom="true"         android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"         android:onclick="btnclick"         android:nestedscrollingenabled="true"/> </relativelayout> 

code show menu on button click:

public class mainactivity extends appcompatactivity {      @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate)     {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);     }      public void btnclick(view view)     {         showmenu(view);      }       public void showmenu(view v)     {         popupmenu popup = new popupmenu(this, v);         popup.inflate(r.menu.popup_menu);         popup.show();     } } 

styles xmle generated automatically. have added menu style set black menu background, here is:

<style name="popupmenu" parent="widget.appcompat.popupmenu">     <item name="android:popupbackground">@android:color/black</item>  </style>  <!-- base application theme. --> <style name="apptheme" parent="theme.appcompat.light.darkactionbar">     <!-- customize theme here. -->     <item name="colorprimary">@color/colorprimary</item>     <item name="colorprimarydark">@color/colorprimarydark</item>     <item name="coloraccent">@color/coloraccent</item>     <item name="popupmenustyle">@style/popupmenu</item> </style> 

but still menu background white , should black. ideas what's wrong?

[edit] according comments, updated code:

<resources>      <style name="popupmenu" parent="@style/widget.appcompat.light.popupmenu">         <item name="android:popupbackground">#ff4081</item>     </style>      <!-- base application theme. -->     <style name="apptheme" parent="theme.appcompat.light.darkactionbar">         <!-- customize theme here. -->         <item name="colorprimary">@color/colorprimary</item>         <item name="colorprimarydark">@color/colorprimarydark</item>         <item name="coloraccent">@color/coloraccent</item>     </style>    </resources> 

main activity:

public void showmenu(view v)     {         context wrapper = new contextthemewrapper(getapplicationcontext(), r.style.popupmenu);         popupmenu popup = new popupmenu(wrapper, v);          // activity implements onmenuitemclicklistener         //popup.setonmenuitemclicklistener((popupmenu.onmenuitemclicklistener) this);         popup.inflate(r.menu.popup_menu);         popup.show();     } 

result not expect

menu background still black, not color want set.

i tried solution mentioned above, popupmenu color not changed, ended doing follows:

1. created custom drawable required color follows:
   popup_color_drawable

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <selector      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">     <item android:state_pressed="true">     <color         android:color="@color/colorprimary"/>      </item>      <item>          <color              android:color="#655611"/>      </item>  </selector> 

added state_pressed select effect
2. in styles.xml added following code

<style         name="mypopupmenu" parent="widget.appcompat.popupmenu">         <item             name="android:itembackground">@drawable/popup_color_drawable</item>     </style> 

i using theme.appcompat.light.darkactionbar base theme app.

3. then in activity

  public void showpopup(view view){         context wrapper = new contextthemewrapper(this, r.style.mypopupmenu);         popupmenu popup = new popupmenu(wrapper, view);         popup.inflate(r.menu.popup_menu);         popup.show();     } 

following result getting
