what is the eventual way to display a popup "panel" under/beside an arbitrary @Composable.
There once was a DropdownPopup but it was removed as I read.
is there a "current" solution to do an arbitrary Popup directly beside a @Composable ?

Do you want it to fit in the window bounds, or do you want it to go outside of the window bounds?

[Dirk Hoffmann]

inside window bounds

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Popup composable is still there

[Dirk Hoffmann]

you happen to have a pointer to some example code?

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-main/c[…]rc/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/window/Popup.kt + https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-main/c[…]src/main/java/androidx/compose/ui/samples/PopupSample.kt

And https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/refs/heads/androidx-main/c[…]rc/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/window/Popup.kt has an example of custom popup positioning

[Dirk Hoffmann]

just out of curiosity on you first question in this thread here:
is there a popup, that can be placed outside the window???

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

In the desktop world you would use a combination of JWindow and ComposePanel

[Dirk Hoffmann]

ah, going down the swing road

Same in Android - popup is expected/actual with AndroidPopup using the platform's APIs (window manager, etc)
