So im making my first Dropdown but when i have a lot of Strings it expands upwards, is there a way to compact the list and make it scrollable or am i using the wrong Widget?
class _DropdownBehaivorButton extends StatefulWidget {
const _DropdownBehaivorButton({super.key});
@override
State<_DropdownBehaivorButton> createState() => _DropdownBehaivorButtonState();
}
class _DropdownBehaivorButtonState extends State<_DropdownBehaivorButton> {
String dropdownvalue = 'Agresivo';
var tipos = [
'Agresivo',
'Tranquilo',
'Travieso',
'Docil',
'Travieso',
'Travieso',
'Travieso'
];
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return
DropdownButtonHideUnderline(
child: DropdownButton(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(25),
isExpanded: true,
iconEnabledColor: Color(0xff525252),
dropdownColor: Colors.white,
style: _textStyle(),
value: dropdownvalue,
icon: const Icon(Icons.keyboard_arrow_down),
items: tipos.map((String items) {
return DropdownMenuItem(
value: items,
child: Center(child: Text(items)),
);
}).toList(),
onChanged: (String? newValue) {
setState(() {
dropdownvalue = newValue!;
});
},
),
);
}
TextStyle _textStyle() => TextStyle(
fontSize: 18,color: Color.fromARGB(123, 82, 82, 82),fontWeight: FontWeight.w400) ;}
DropdownButton(
menuMaxHeight: 100, // this line
hint: const Text(
"Please select Child / Patient"),
underline: const SizedBox(),
isExpanded: true,
iconEnabledColor: Colors.blue[800],
dropdownColor: Colors.grey[100],
style: TextStyle(
letterSpacing: 2,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
fontSize: 12,
color: Colors.grey[800]),
value: patientName,
items: patients.map((patient) {
return DropdownMenuItem(
value: patient,
child: Text(patient.childName),
);
}).toList(),
onChanged: (value) {
setState(() {
patientName = value;
debugPrint(patientName!
.toJson()
.toString());
});
}),
// try changing the menu max height
