DropdownButton explained for Android Developers
A dropdown button lets the user select from a number of items. The button shows the currently selected item as well as an arrow that opens a menu for selecting another item. This is similar to the Spinner widget in Android, which allows users to choose from a list of options. In Jetpack Compose, you can achieve similar functionality using the DropdownMenu component.
