DropdownMenu

Composable Component

A dropdown menu is a compact way of displaying multiple choices. It appears upon interaction with an element (such as an icon or button) or when users perform a specific action.

Common

@Composable
expect fun DropdownMenu(
    expanded: Boolean,
    onDismissRequest: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    offset: DpOffset = DpOffset(0.dp, 0.dp),
    scrollState: ScrollState = rememberScrollState(),
    properties: PopupProperties = DefaultMenuProperties,
    content: @Composable ColumnScope.() -> Unit,
)

Parameters


expanded	whether the menu is expanded or not
onDismissRequest	called when the user requests to dismiss the menu, such as by tapping outside the menu's bounds
modifier	`Modifier` to be applied to the menu's content
offset	`DpOffset` from the original position of the menu. The offset respects the `LayoutDirection`, so the offset's x position will be added in LTR and subtracted in RTL.
scrollState	a `ScrollState` to used by the menu's content for items vertical scrolling
properties	`PopupProperties` for further customization of this popup's behavior
content	the content of this dropdown menu, typically a `DropdownMenuItem`
