I want to create a menu similar to this.
Please guide me to do that. Thanks.
Start by following this: https://developer.android.com/training/appbar/actions.html
It specifically shows adding buttons to the bar but in the same xml you can set them to show up as a menu like you want.

I get a strange problem. When I open design-menu for redacting xml file (Activity or Fragment) I dont see elements(buttons, textviews etc).
Picture:
How can I fix this?
This looks like a render problem, please click on the top right red exclamation mark to see the exact error.
For the time being, you can change the display theme to resolve the problem. Click on AppTheme in the top menu, and choose another theme (I would suggest Material Light > Material.Light.DarkActionBar

I need help on how I would make an options menu outside of toolbar. The one with the dropdown like the options menu in chrome or messaging, not the contextual which pops up like an alert/progress dialog.
I am planning to use it beside a textview, not on a toolbar. I get the idea of having to create an xml for the menu, but what do I use on the layout and how do I inflate it?
How to add menu button without action bar?
those are two pretty acceptable solutions, doubt there is any other workaround...or just use a spinner
I'm making a simple android app, and I'm trying to work out the best way to make the main menu. The users of this app are not likely to be that sophisticated, so I want to make it as simple as possible.
So I want the first screen they see when the app opens to be this menu - they click on what they want, and it takes them to that part of the app (Not pressing a "Menu" button to bring it across from the left, which is common nowdays).
So, I want the menu to look a bit like this: http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/AppZapp-Android-Menu.jpg , minus the search box, and the strip down the right hand side. (also this looks like it is one of those menus that slide out from the left, which I dont want)
I have had a look into menus (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#options-menu), but it seems it is more used for contextual stuff, or letting the user select an option), then a navigation menu.
So - what is the best way to do this? Do I just create a list and put a button in each item?
Based on the your requirement , Use Navigation drawer see the below link.

After ionic and angular i'm trying to develop apps in native java. After setting up a toolbar and a drawer-menu i wasn't able to make it work:
First problem: How can i use myitems in my drawer to show different views (in separate .xml files) in the main view.
Second problem: How can i create a view, similar to a full-height snackbar, whitin a text input field?
thank you for your time.
You should use fragment replacement. So in your main activity layout file create Frame Layout and onNavigationDrawerClick change fragments. Take a look at this as example.
2.I recommend you to use Bottom Sheet in it. Sample
