How to Use Checkbox Inside a Dropdown in Flutter

Creating an interactive user interface is essential for any application. One common use case is the integration of checkboxes within dropdown menus. This feature allows users to make selections efficiently. However, developers often face challenges in implementing this functionality in Flutter. If you've been struggling with adding checkboxes inside a dropdown and ensuring they respond correctly, this guide is for you!

The Problem

In your Flutter project, you may be attempting to add a checkbox to each item in your dropdown menu. The goal is to enable users to toggle options on and off directly from the dropdown. However, you've noticed that despite implementing a Row that contains a checkbox and text within DropdownMenuItem, the checkbox fails to reflect changes when clicked.

The Solution

To successfully implement checkboxes within a dropdown in Flutter, you can utilize DropdownButtonFormField along with a StatefulBuilder. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this functionality.

Step 1: Declare the Checkbox State

First, you need to define a boolean variable to hold the state of the checkbox. This variable will determine whether the checkbox is checked or not.
