In Compose Multiplatform, DropDownMenu is not available in commonMain?

Question

Do I have to call it from specific platforms (in my case Android and desktop)?

Answer 1

No, it's not available. It's because it has different API on these platforms.

On Android it has popupProperties parameter, which contains a lot of Android specific parameters, .e.g dismissOnBackPress is meaningless on Desktop.

On Desktop this parameter is replaced with only one of popupProperties properties - focusable.

You can create your own version using expect/actual and reuse platform specific version with the needed parameters
