Issue
I’ve been searching for quite a while now, and I don’t know if I’m not searching the correct term, but I want to make a menu that displays over the current screen when you click on your avatar.
Like this one from Google:
Or this one from Facebook:
I tried using showMenu(), but this one requires that I use PopUpMenuItem() which is, but it does not allow customizing the whole menu. For what I understand, I have to draw a Material() widget or Stack() over the current screen, but I have no knowledge on that.
Solution
What you need is an OverlayEntry. They’re tricky, and there are packages that help you manage overlays more easily. Please check these:
