Android intents: a listview with menu and submenu

Question

Hi, Everyone. I would like to display a sub menu when I click a specific item. For instance, clicking Play Video shows a sub menu with 2 more items: Play It and Show playlist.

Is it possible that this sub menu appears like a "dropdown menu" or a "dialog"?

This is the code I'm working with:

package com.examples.youtubeapidemo;

import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeIntents;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.examples.youtubeapidemo.adapter.DemoArrayAdapter;
import com.examples.youtubeapidemo.adapter.DemoListViewItem;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * A sample activity which shows how to use the {@link YouTubeIntents} static
 * methods to create Intents that navigate the user to Activities within the
 * main YouTube application.
 */

public final class IntentsDemoActivity extends Activity implements
        OnItemClickListener {

    // This is the value of Intent.EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY for API level 11 and above.
    private static final String EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY = "android.intent.extra.LOCAL_ONLY";
    private static final String VIDEO_ID = "-Uwjt32NvVA";
    private static final String PLAYLIST_ID = "PLF3DFB800F05F551A";
    private static final String USER_ID = "Google";
    private static final int SELECT_VIDEO_REQUEST = 1000;

    private List<DemoListViewItem> intentItems;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.intents_demo);

        intentItems = new ArrayList<DemoListViewItem>();
        intentItems.add(new IntentItem("Play Video", IntentType.PLAY_VIDEO));

        intentItems
                .add(new IntentItem("Upload Video", IntentType.UPLOAD_VIDEO));

        ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.intent_list);

        TextView youTubeVersionText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_version_text);
        String version = YouTubeIntents.getInstalledYouTubeVersionName(this);
        if (version != null) {
            String text = String.format(
                    getString(R.string.youtube_currently_installed), version);
            youTubeVersionText.setText(text);
        } else {
            youTubeVersionText
                    .setText(getString(R.string.youtube_not_installed));

            intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, null).setType("video/*");

You might try to implement it like the following code:

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

    popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.play_video:
                    //intent = YouTubeIntents.createPlayVideoIntentWithOptions(this,
                    //        VIDEO_ID, true, false);
                    //startActivity(intent);
                    Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this, "play video", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return true;
                case R.id.show_playlist:
                    //intent = YouTubeIntents.createOpenPlaylistIntent(this, PLAYLIST_ID);
                    //startActivity(intent);
                    Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this, "show playlist", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return true;
                default:
                    return false;
            }
        }
    });
    popup.show();
}

with actions.xml in res/menu folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/play_video"
          android:title="Play Video"
          android:showAsAction="ifRoom"/>
    <item android:id="@+id/show_playlist"
          android:title="Show playlist" />
</menu>

It's actually just similar to way mentioned in the documentation
