is there any way to have a DropdownMenu appear in the position of a click? I'd like to capture the x, y position of a click event and have the DropdownMenu anchored to that position, rather than it just anchoring itself in the default position

I think you want ContextMenu and not DropdownMenu .

thanks Dominic, but I'm after a Composable, not something from the android.view package. the solution I've built using Compose's DropdownMenu works great, I'd just like to change the UX slightly and change the placement of the menu

Ah, it's a composable function but it appears to be desktop only.

@james try onGloballyPositioned -> positionInParent you will get x,y position and anchor DropDownMenu to that.
