Ideas on how to accomplish this task?

I am looking to have functionality that when a user clicks an image (either their profile image or the header image) in their profile, a menu slides up from the bottom to give them the 2-3 menu options (change picture, view picture, etc...). Something like what the Facebook app does on the profile page in their app. Initially, I was using FABs to accomplish this, but the fabs wouldn't scroll off the screen for some reason, plus I like the way a menu scrolls up from the bottom looks. Any ideas on the way this can be accomplished?

My layout is a CoordinatorLayout with a toolbar. I can post the entire layout if need be to help you understand.
 
I already have that functionality on another layout in the app. I'd rather have the user be able to tap the picture and a menu slides up from the bottom asking them if they want to view the image or replace the image or take a photo and replace the image. It's a user profile page with a user photo, header photo, and a small bio (name, about, city you live in, etc...). I use the toolbar menu to edit the bio, change the password, change the user setting, and log out. I don't want to put the profile image change and cover photo image change on that menu. That's too much. I'd rather them just tap the image they want to change and the menu slides up with the options. Facebook does this with their user profile layout and it's extremely intuitive. I just don't know how they do it.

None of these slide up from the bottom. Although I am not set on the menu sliding up, I would prefer to write the code myself rather than relying on a third-party repository. I thought this would be fairly simple as there isn't much to what I need to accomplish.

These are all open source libraries, with the code available on Github. If you don't find one that does exactly what you want, pick the closest match, download the code and modify it.
 
I see that. I'll keep looking for a bottom sliding option. That really will work best for my application. All those on the page are super fancy and seem more confusing than they are worth for what I need. Seems odd that there is not a version where the menu slides up from the bottom ala Facebook or something similar.
