I want to change the TextStyle of the items appear in DropdownSearch which comes under dropdown_search package in flutter
Solution 1
You can add paramter dropdownBuilder
for custom apperience.
Here's implementation with horizontal ListView
:
Widget _customDropDown(BuildContext context, List<String> selectedItems) {
List<Widget> list = [];
if (selectedItems.isEmpty) return Text('Hint text');
for (var item in selectedItems) {
list.add(Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
child: Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
border: Border.all(color: Colors.grey.shade300),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20.0),
color: Colors.grey.shade300,
),
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(2.0),
child: Center(
child: Text(
item,
)),
)),
));
}
return ListView.builder(
scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
itemCount: list.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return list[index];
});
}
Solution 2
If you look into the source code of the package, I believe you can not change the textStyle of the text inside dropdown menu.
For arrow icon, DropdownSearch has dropDownButton.
DropdownSearch<String>(
dropDownButton: Icon(Icons.ac_unit) // icon of your choice
)
Solution 3
For styling the selectedItem, you can use a Custom Widget as mentioned in below code snippet. You can include the FontFamily in the TextStyle property of the widget.
Widget _customDropDownAddress(
BuildContext context, _addressFilteredName, String itemDesignation) {
return Container(
child: Text(
_addressFilteredName.toString(),
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 10,
color: Colors.green,
)
)); }
and can use this custom widget as the dropdownBuilder.
DropdownSearch<UserModel>(
mode: Mode.BOTTOM_SHEET,
maxHeight: 700,
isFilteredOnline: true,
showClearButton: true,
showSearchBox: true,
label: 'Address',
dropdownSearchDecoration: InputDecoration(
filled: true,
fillColor: Theme.of(context).inputDecorationTheme.fillColor,
),
onFind: (String filter) => getData(filter),
onChanged: (data) {
print(data);
},
dropdownBuilder: _customDropDownAddress,
popupItemBuilder: _customPopupItemBuilderExample,
popupSafeArea: PopupSafeArea(top: true, bottom: true),
scrollbarProps: ScrollbarProps(
isAlwaysShown: true,
thickness: 7,
),
),
This will be helpful to add any applicable style to the selectedItem.
Solution 4
I manage to customize the dropdown menu by creating two functions at this builder
return SizedBox(
height: 300,
child: AlertDialog(
content: DropdownSearch<String>(
dropdownSearchBaseStyle:
TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'MeQuran2'),
showSearchBox: true,
mode: Mode.DIALOG,
showSelectedItems: true,
dropdownBuilder: _style,
popupItemBuilder: _style1,
items: list,
dropdownSearchDecoration:
InputDecoration(
labelText: "Word Detail",
hintText: "word type detail",
),
onChanged: print,
selectedItem:
aya.wordName[index].name,
),),);
and this is the two widget with customize textsyle
Widget _style(BuildContext context, String? selectedItem) {
return Text(
selectedItem!,
style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'MeQuran2'),
);
}
Widget _style1(BuildContext context, String? item, bool isSelected) {
return Directionality(
textDirection: TextDirection.rtl,
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Text(
item!,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(
fontFamily: 'MeQuran2',
color: isSelected ? Colors.cyanAccent : null),
),
),
);
}

Tucker over 3 yearsYou may need to edit this, your code is not all contained.

Subhasis Banerjee over 3 yearsitems: _itemValues.map((String dropDownStringItem) { return DropdownMenuItem<String>( value: dropDownStringItem, child: Text(dropDownStringItem), ); }).toList(),............It is how Item TextStyle can be changed in DropDownButton...But I Cann't implemnt it here
-
Dung Ngo over 3 yearsyes, because this package doesn't implements DropdownButton(). The author created their own dropdown widget. And as I said, when I looked into the source code, I believe that unless you modify this package, you won't be able to change the TextStyle of items in the dropdown
-
Subhasis Banerjee over 3 yearsplease let me know if it is possible to start the DropDown to appear from below the text in DropdownButton!!!!
