Android Question Droppy setYOffset not working

[RB Smissaert]

Integrated the Droppy library in my app now:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/droppy-dropdown-menu.81918/
and all working very well. There is only one thing I can't get to work yet and that is
the setYOffset method. As I understand it this should move the top of the dropdown
vertically, related to the anchor view. It doesn't do anything though.
As some people might be interested to see how Droppy is used I post the full code.

Sub Activity_CreateMenu(Menu As ACMenu)
 
 Dim i As Int
 Dim item As ACMenuItem
 Dim bmd As BitmapDrawable
 
 General.RunLog("Activity_CreateMenu")

 SetupIcons 'this needs a DB connection!

 Menu.Clear

  arrMenuIconsInfo(i, 0) = -1
 Next
 
 bmd = TextToBitmapDrawable(Chr(61762),32,Colors.Black,48,48,Typeface.FONTAWESOME,"CENTER")
 'bmd = TextToBitmapDrawable(Chr(58836),32,Colors.Black,48,48,Typeface.MATERIALICONS,"CENTER") 'shows too small

 'Menu group 1
 For i = eMenuButtonType.FindPatient To eMenuButtonType.Map   '0 to 7
  item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(1, i, i, arrMenuIconFilesTitles(i, 2), arrMenuIcons(i, 0))
  item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
  arrMenuIconsInfo(i, 0) = 1 'menu group 1
  arrMenuItems(i) = item 'menu item
 Next
 'easier to add overflow item to all menu groups
 item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(1, 8, 8, "Overflow", bmd)
 item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
 
 'Menu group 2
 For i = eMenuButtonType.Appointments To eMenuButtonType.Phone_Patient   '8 to 14
  item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(2, i, i, arrMenuIconFilesTitles(i, 2), arrMenuIcons(i, 0))
  item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
  arrMenuIconsInfo(i, 0) = 2
  arrMenuItems(i) = item
 Next
 item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(2, 15, 15, "Overflow", bmd)
 item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
 
 'Menu group 3
 For i = eMenuButtonType.SQL To eMenuButtonType.Show_All_Run_SQL   '15 to 21
  item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(3, i, i, arrMenuIconFilesTitles(i, 2), arrMenuIcons(i, 0))
  item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
  arrMenuIconsInfo(i, 0) = 3
  arrMenuItems(i) = item
 Next
 item = Menu.AddWithGroup2(3, 22, 22, "Overflow", bmd)
 item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS

   ShowXLS
  Case "Show .txt or .csv"
   ShowCSV_TXT
  'ETC.     
 End Select
 
 pop.dismiss(True)
 
End Sub

Any advice how setYOffset should be used?

Solved this now by adding btnDroppyAnchor to a panel, added to the actionbar.
That way there is more control over the left and top of the Droppy menu.
