Overlapping widgets when I open a dropdown

[GENÍS LLOSES MIRÓ]

Hello everyone and thanks in advance,

I am having problems working with the DropDown widget. My intention is to have a list of Buttons and when you click on each one of them a DropDown menu is displayed. The main problem I have is that when the DropDown is displayed, it does it overlapping with the  other Buttons. I would like that at the moment that the DropDown is deployed the other Buttons move down so that they do not overlap. Is it possible to do this?

I leave captures of the code.
I'm open to hear improvements in my code :), I'm very new with kivy.

Thanks!!!!

Please share a minimal, runnable example of your code that highlights the issue.

One of this issues I see:

 

In the dropdown() method, you are creating buttons and setting the height, and NOT turning off the size_hint.  If you want to set the height you must set size_hint_y=None or the size will be ignored.

 

Another option to consider is using the kivy Spinner() rather than dropdown.  You can customize spinner by changing the option_cls attribute.

See: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.spinner.html?highlight=spinner#module-kivy.uix.spinner
