show alertdialog and not cover the actionbar

Question

I'm new in android and I'm trying to use alertdialog but it always covers the actionbar.

How can I do something like dropdown menu as shown in the picture ?

for drop down you should use spinner instead of alert dialog — Vivek Mishra, Jan 04 '16 at 07:47
you can inflate your custom layout with it I think this kind of layout can be done too — Vivek Mishra, Jan 04 '16 at 07:49

try this

WindowManager.LayoutParams wmlp = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();

wmlp.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
 wmlp.x = 100;   //x position
 wmlp.y = 100;   //y position

 dialog.show();

Try using `wmlp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM` instead of `wmlp.gravity = Gravity.TOP` – Phantômaxx Jan 04 '16 at 08:16
