Add option to hide trailing icon in DropdownMenu #167782

mohamedamara · 2025-04-24T22:51:47Z

This PR adds support for hiding the trailing icon in DropdownMenu widget. Currently, there's no built-in option to remove it.

The change is non-breaking, as the trailing icon remains visible by default unless showTrailingIcon is explicitly set to false. The showTrailingIcon parameter follows a similar pattern to its use in the ExpansionTile widget.

Fixes #164908

Thank for your contribution! Overall this looks good! Just left a few nits and then I'll look for a second reviewer:)

+  /// Specifies if the [DropdownMenu] should show a [trailingIcon].
+  ///
+  /// Defaults to true.


nit: we can move this line to the last line for consistency.

+      final ThemeData themeData = ThemeData();
+      await tester.pumpWidget(
+        MaterialApp(
+          theme: themeData,


nit: we can remove this line and line 4265 for simplicity:)

+      final ThemeData themeData = ThemeData();
+      await tester.pumpWidget(
+        MaterialApp(
+          theme: themeData,


nit: seems themeData is not used anywhere, so we can remove this line and line 4243

Not sure why Google testing hasn't been triggered. But this change looks safe to roll into g3.
