DropdownButton<T> constructor

DropdownButton<T>(
  1. {Key? key,
  2. required List<DropdownMenuItem<T>>? items,
  3. DropdownButtonBuilder? selectedItemBuilder,
  4. T? value,
  5. Widget? hint,
  6. Widget? disabledHint,
  7. required ValueChanged<T?>? onChanged,
  8. VoidCallback? onTap,
  9. int elevation = 8,
  10. TextStyle? style,
  11. Widget? underline,
  12. Widget? icon,
  13. Color? iconDisabledColor,
  14. Color? iconEnabledColor,
  15. double iconSize = 24.0,
  16. bool isDense = false,
  17. bool isExpanded = false,
  18. double? itemHeight = kMinInteractiveDimension,
  19. Color? focusColor,
  20. FocusNode? focusNode,
  21. bool autofocus = false,
  22. Color? dropdownColor,
  23. double? menuMaxHeight,
  24. bool? enableFeedback,
  25. AlignmentGeometry alignment = AlignmentDirectional.centerStart,
  26. BorderRadius? borderRadius,
  27. EdgeInsetsGeometry? padding}
)

Creates a dropdown button.

The items must have distinct values. If value isn't null then it must be equal to one of the DropdownMenuItem values. If items or onChanged is null, the button will be disabled, the down arrow will be greyed out.

If value is null and the button is enabled, hint will be displayed if it is non-null.

If value is null and the button is disabled, disabledHint will be displayed if it is non-null. If disabledHint is null, then hint will be displayed if it is non-null.

The dropdownColor argument specifies the background color of the dropdown when it is open. If it is null, the current theme's ThemeData.canvasColor will be used instead.
