I’m using 0.4.0, and for some reason I don’t have access to the DropdownMenu widget. I see internal widgets like DropdownMenuContent and DropdownMenuPositionProvider, but not the actual DropdownMenu . Am I doing something wrong, or has this been removed from Desktop?

I'm using 0.4.0, and I see DropdownMenu in androidx.compose.material

DropdownMenu is not accessible in commonMain, you can use it only inside desktopMain or androidMain.

If you want to use it in commonMain, you can write your own expect/actual.

is there a reason for that? Different signatures?

[Igor Demin]

I think there is no significant reason 🙂 .

This was a temporary solution (maybe temporary)

Different signatures?

Yes, the Android popup has a slightly different signature (it has PopupProperties).

One of the solutions - we can define a common function with the common signature.

@Igor Demin Is there a ticket to track this?

[Igor Demin]

No, you can create one 🙂

[spierce7]

should it be on Jetpack Compose issue tracker or Jetbrains Compose github issues?

[Igor Demin]

Better in compose-jb github as there should be changes not only in commonMain, but in desktopMain too

Am I right that there is still no real solution for this problem? It just cost me a day until I finally ended up here.
