Context menu

A long-press context menu anchored to the content it acts on.

Installation

caveui components are copy-paste Jetpack Compose built entirely on Material 3 — there's no caveui dependency to add. Make sure Material 3 is on your classpath (it ships with the Compose BOM), then copy the Usage snippet below into your project.

kotlin

// build.gradle.kts (module)
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:2025.06.00"))
    implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3")
}

Usage

kotlin

@Composable
fun ContextMenu(content: @Composable () -> Unit) {
    var expanded by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
    Box(
        Modifier.pointerInput(Unit) {
            detectTapGestures(onLongPress = { expanded = true })
        },
    ) {
        content()
        DropdownMenu(
            expanded = expanded,
            onDismissRequest = { expanded = false },
        ) {
            DropdownMenuItem(text = { Text("Copy") }, onClick = { expanded = false })
            DropdownMenuItem(text = { Text("Share") }, onClick = { expanded = false })
            DropdownMenuItem(text = { Text("Delete") }, onClick = { expanded = false })
        }
    }
}
