You can do it by using Popup Menu

activity_main.xml

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:onClick="showPopUp"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_baseline_more_vert_24"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

menu_popup.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/item_1"
        android:title="Item1"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/item_2"
        android:title="Item2"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/item_3"
        android:title="Item3"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/item_4"
        android:title="Item4"/>

</menu>

MainActivity.kt

fun showPopUp(view: View) {
    val menu = PopupMenu(this,view)
    menu.inflate(R.menu.menu_popup)
    menu.show()
}
