ListPopupWindow

open class ListPopupWindow
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.widget.ListPopupWindow

A ListPopupWindow anchors itself to a host view and displays a list of choices.

ListPopupWindow contains a number of tricky behaviors surrounding positioning, scrolling parents to fit the dropdown, interacting sanely with the IME if present, and others.
