Tap screen to dismiss popup item widget

[Charon922]

hi,

Are there any ways to dismiss the popup item widget by tapping the screen?

thanks

Same question. There should be a way to dismiss the popup by tapping anywhere outside the popup (at the very least on tapping the TextField). The only way to dismiss the popup seems to be selecting a list item.

@rosbal Hi, I figured out how to solve it.

Need to modify the original code.
Add a dismiss function
static void dismissMenu() { if (overlayEntry != null) { overlayEntry.remove(); overlayEntry = null; _controller.clear(); _focusNode.unfocus(); } }
And then make the overlay into a stack and make the bottom layer take up the full screen, wrap it's child in a GestureDetector that calls:
return Stack(children: <Widget>[ Positioned.fill( child: GestureDetector( onTap: dismissMenu, child: Container( color: Colors.transparent, ), )), Positioned( left: position.left, width: width, child: CompositedTransformFollower( .....

Hello...
@Charon922 I am having this same issue and I don't understand your solution, Where do you make these changes?? and would you be able to give a more detailed example.
