WindowDropdownMenu

WindowDropdownMenu is a BasicComponent wrapper that opens a WindowDropdownPopup (rendered at window level via Dialog) when clicked. Unlike WindowDropdownPreference, it does not own a single selection index — selection state lives entirely on each DropdownItem's selected and onClick. Use it for action menus, multi-select menus, or any case where the items in a popup do not share one mutually exclusive choice.

Basic Usage

Wrap a single DropdownEntry to render a basic dropdown menu row. No Scaffold is required:

var selectedIndex by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val entry = DropdownEntry(
    items = listOf("Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3").mapIndexed { index, text ->
        DropdownItem(
            text = text,
            selected = selectedIndex == index,
            onClick = { selectedIndex = index },
        )
    }
)

WindowDropdownMenu(
    title = "Dropdown Menu",
    entry = entry
)

Grouped Menu

Pass a List<DropdownEntry> to render multiple groups separated by dividers. By default, collapseOnSelection is entries.size <= 1, so multi-group menus stay open after each selection.

var sizeIndex by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
var colorIndex by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
val entries = listOf(
    DropdownEntry(
        items = listOf("Small", "Medium").mapIndexed { index, text ->
            DropdownItem(text = text, selected = sizeIndex == index, onClick = { sizeIndex = index })
        }
    ),
    DropdownEntry(
        items = listOf("Red", "Green", "Blue").mapIndexed { index, text ->
            DropdownItem(text = text, selected = colorIndex == index, onClick = { colorIndex = index })
        }
    )
)

WindowDropdownMenu(
    title = "Grouped Menu",
    entries = entries,
    collapseOnSelection = false
)

Multi Select

Selection state lives on DropdownItem.selected, so multiple items can be selected simultaneously by toggling each item's value from onClick.

var selected by remember { mutableStateOf(setOf("A1", "B2")) }
val entries = listOf(
    DropdownEntry(
        items = listOf("A1", "A2").map { text ->
            DropdownItem(
                text = text,
                selected = text in selected,
                onClick = {
                    selected = if (text in selected) selected - text else selected + text
                }
            )
        }
    ),
    DropdownEntry(
        items = listOf("B1", "B2", "B3").map { text ->
            DropdownItem(
                text = text,
                selected = text in selected,
                onClick = {
                    selected = if (text in selected) selected - text else selected + text
                }
            )
        }
    )
)

WindowDropdownMenu(
    title = "Multi Select Menu",
    entries = entries,
    collapseOnSelection = false
)

Observe Expanded State

var expanded by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
val entry = DropdownEntry(
    items = listOf("Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3").map { DropdownItem(text = it) }
)

WindowDropdownMenu(
    title = "Observe Expanded",
    summary = if (expanded) "Expanded" else "Collapsed",
    entry = entry,
    onExpandedChange = { expanded = it }
)

Items with a Hint Slot

The hint slot renders between the title block and the selection indicator, capped at 40dp wide. It suits a red dot, a count badge, or a very short label. Matching ColorOS, the hint is hidden entirely while the row is disabled.

val entry = DropdownEntry(
    items = listOf(
        DropdownItem(text = "Inbox", hint = { Badge(count = 12) }),
        DropdownItem(text = "Updates", hint = { Badge() }),
        // The badge is suppressed because the row is disabled.
        DropdownItem(text = "Archive", hint = { Badge(count = 3) }, enabled = false),
    )
)

Scaffold {
    WindowDropdownMenu(title = "Hints", entry = entry)
}

Group Headers

A DropdownEntry can declare a title, rendered above its items as a non-clickable header row (12sp medium, secondary label color, at most 2 lines). Headers coexist with the group divider that already separates adjacent entries.

val entries = listOf(
    DropdownEntry(
        title = "Sort by",
        items = listOf("Name", "Date modified").map { DropdownItem(text = it) }
    ),
    DropdownEntry(
        title = "Order",
        items = listOf("Ascending", "Descending").map { DropdownItem(text = it) }
    )
)

Scaffold {
    WindowDropdownMenu(title = "Group Headers", entries = entries)
}

Alert Items

Set alert = true to mark a destructive action. Its title uses the error color instead of the normal label color; disabled alert rows still fall back to the disabled color.

val entry = DropdownEntry(
    items = listOf(
        DropdownItem(text = "Rename"),
        DropdownItem(text = "Delete", alert = true),
    )
)

Scaffold {
    WindowDropdownMenu(title = "Alert Item", entry = entry)
}

Component States

Disabled State

WindowDropdownMenu(
    title = "Disabled Menu",
    summary = "This menu is currently unavailable",
    entry = DropdownEntry(items = listOf(DropdownItem(text = "Option 1"))),
    enabled = false
)

The menu is also implicitly disabled when no DropdownEntry contains any items.
