creating popup menu in android 2.3 GingerBread

I am an intermediate level programmer in android. Now I am developing an app which has a view. When I click that view I have to display a popup menu.

I got the following code from android developer site

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

But this code is working only on API 11 and above.

Can anyone help me so that I can make a popup menu that supports also GingerBread?

As my knowledge PopupMenuis not support for Android 2.3,PopupWindow only support for Android 2.3,so better to use PopupWindow in Android 2.3

Popup menus are now available in support library v4 (PopupMenuCompat).

you can use PopupWindow and showAsDropDown() instead.

OR http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#FloatingContextMenu

You could try the following:

public void myDialog() {
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
    LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_xml_layout, null);
    builder.setView(v);
    builder.set......;
    builder.show();
}

where builder.set... is where you can set the title, positive button action (ie "Ok"), negative button action (ie "Cancel"), and other options.
