In Flutter, DropdownButtonFormField
's modal list keeps growing to fill some height limit that seems to be ~90% of the screen (or possibly, and more likely, the Container
it's in). When it reaches that limit, it becomes scrollable. Is it possible to set that height limit?
Here's the code I'm working with
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text(widget.title)),
body: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(5, 5, 5, 5),
child: Form(
child: ListView(
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
children: <Widget>[
//other widgets here
DropdownButtonFormField(items: this.dropDownItems),
],
),
)),
);
I was checking the code of DropDown
and there is no property to set the height of the Dialog
, it just fill almost the screen.
I made a small change to the class and you can include to your project if you want:

Usage
1- Add the file into your project.
2- Import the file with an alias to avoid conflicts.
import 'custom_dropdown.dart' as custom;
3- Use the alias in your Widgets related to the DropDown, and add the height property:
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text(widget.title)),
body: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(5, 5, 5, 5),
child: Form(
child: ListView(
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
children: <Widget>[
//other widgets here
custom.DropdownButtonFormField(
height: 200.0,
items: this.dropDownItems),
],
),
)),
);
4- Don't forget to add the alias also in your DropdownMenuItem
like this :
custom.DropdownMenuItem(
child: Text("Sample Tex"),
value: "any_value",
),
