I have a custom XML file for the options menu which I want to display underneath an ImageButton when it is clicked. I want to be able to get the id (or a name, index...) of the item from the menu when the item is selected.

Here's the XML file of recycler_view_item.xml which is the layout with the ImageButton that's supposed to show the menu on click:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="55dp"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="center_horizontal">
    
        <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_margin="0dp"
            app:cardBackgroundColor="#182A3E"
            app:cardElevation="8dp">
    
            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="382dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_margin="0dp"
                android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:orientation="vertical">
    
                <LinearLayout
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="43dp"
                    android:background="@drawable/recycler_item_background"
                    android:orientation="horizontal">
    
                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/tv_item_title"
                        android:layout_width="200dp"
                        android:layout_height="43dp"
                        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                        android:layout_marginStart="90dp"
                        android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
                        android:gravity="center|center_horizontal"
                        android:text="Placeholder"
                        android:textColor="#F9F9F9"
                        android:textSize="20sp" />
    
                    <ImageButton
                        android:id="@+id/optionsMenuButton"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="20dp"
                        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                        android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
                        android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                        android:paddingLeft="20dp"
                        android:paddingTop="3dp"
                        android:paddingRight="20dp"
                        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_options_menu_icon" />
                </LinearLayout>
    
                <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                    android:id="@+id/subRecyclerView"
                    android:layout_width="356dp"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                    android:layout_marginTop="5dp" />
            </LinearLayout>
        </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
    
    </LinearLayout>

Here's the XML file of options_menu_view.xml, which is the menu I want to display on click of the optionsMenuButton from the code above:

    android:orientation="vertical">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

</LinearLayout>

What I would like it to look like when displayed: Option Menu Example

I've been trying to find the solution for quite some time, but I'm quite new and to be honest, I don't even know what exactly I'm supposed to be searching for. Your help is greatly appreciated and sorry if this was posted in the past.

Thank you in advance.
