Menus allow users to make a selection from multiple options. They are less prominent and take up less space than selection controls, such as a set of radio buttons. Exposed Drop-down menu is a new material design component, and you should use it as a replacement for an old Spinner. Watch the video to learn everything about it!

[@areejturkei5482]

Can you convert the code in “create array adapter” to java? Cuz it’s give me syntax errors

[@manavtamboli2109]

The offset in the FilledBox style might be because filled box has a floating hint/label and it left the space for it

[@miliriam7060]

[@PiyushSharma-gw1wx]

[@VenewebTV]

Thanks for the video, usefull and updated, is possible for you to create an option to download the video's code in Java? Regards from Caracas, Venezuela

[@codingmafia1642]

Great Video ,but challenge is when u set backgroundColor for AutoCompleteTextView doesn't appear which forces you to set for TextInputLayout and which create a space above hint text that doesn't align

[@SwagMessiah1]

For those having issues with the binding issue at around the ~6:30 mark, just do the code work in onViewCreated instead of onCreateView because then you can use your then inflated view to add the dropdown options. So in onViewCreated it would look something like this for kotlin: view.findViewById().setAdapter(arrayAdapter)

[@elminmidzic5994]

Thanks a lot

[@muhammadsarimmehdi]

If I set layout_width to wrap_content, I get a warning about localized text expansion. How do I get rid of this without using the suppress warning annotation since that doesn't really solve the problem

[@rubenvillanuevabaxarias5460]

Hello and thank you for the video. How do I know in which string of the array I am at a certain moment? I would like to see changes in the screen when I change for example from English to Chinese, so how could I track in the code that I have changed from English to Chinese? Thanks in advance.

Steve bro, apart from AutoCompleteTextView can we use any other text view for same purpose it is possible.....🤔

Well Compose offers a lot of flexibility. I'm no longer using XML 😉
