Can I detect taps outside of a component? I want to have a dropdown collapse itself on tap outside of it, without needed to require every parent to listen for tap events and tell it to close

You can use 'DropDown' composable for this usecase

Are you talking about DropDownMenu? If so, that's what I'm wrapping. I'm finding it quite finicky

DropDownMenu

already should dismiss when you tap outside. Are you setting

expanded

to false in

onDismissRequest

?

I was asking because I've needed to do this other places and assumed I'd need to do it for DropDownMenu as well

Ah yeah, DropDownMenu is a popup window, and I think popup windows and dialogs don't yet show up in the preview
