          }).toList(),
          onChanged: (String? displayedValue) {
            setState(
              () {
                chooseLocation = displayedValue!;
              },
            );
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

CodePudding user response：

You can achieve that using DropdownButton2.

Also, For adding dividers with different height than other items, check out Example 3.

CodePudding user response：

you need to specify the side: property. By default it is BorderSide.none.

  decoration: ShapeDecoration(
        shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
          side: BorderSide(width: 1.0, style: BorderStyle.solid),
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(5.0)),
        ),
      ),

Example;-

// main.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        // Remove the debug banner
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
        title: 'Kindacode.com',
        theme: ThemeData(
          primarySwatch: Colors.indigo,
        ),
        home: HomePage());
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  List<String> _animals = ["Dog", "Cat", "Crocodile", "Dragon"];

  String? _selectedColor;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Kindacode.com'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Container(
          width: 300,
          padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 5, horizontal: 15),
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
              color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
              borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(30)),
          child: DropdownButton<String>(
            onChanged: (value) {
              setState(() {
                _selectedColor = value;
              });
            },
            value: _selectedColor,

            // Hide the default underline
            underline: Container(),
            hint: Center(
                child: Text(
              'Select the aniaml you love',
              style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
            )),
            icon: Icon(
              Icons.arrow_downward,
              color: Colors.yellow,
            ),
            isExpanded: true,

            // The list of options
            items: _animals
                .map((e) => DropdownMenuItem(
                      child: Container(
                        alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                        child: Text(
                          e,
                          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18),
                        ),
                      ),
                      value: e,
                    ))
                .toList(),

            // Customize the selected item
            selectedItemBuilder: (BuildContext context) => _animals
                .map((e) => Center(
                      child: Text(
                        e,
                        style: TextStyle(
                            fontSize: 18,
                            color: Colors.amber,
                            fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
                            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
                      ),
                    ))
