Well it is the third topic that I answer myself.  
I guess I’m on my own now.  
But I have received a lot of kind help on this forum so here is my contribution.  
I assume that the code above of standard menu needs some kind of bar to be able to run properly.  
In the code below I used a popup menu instead attached to a TextView. Clicking on the screen will enable or close the menu.
