Jetpack Compose Popup — Master It!
<p>When we program our Jetpack Compose View, we might not realize there’s a limitation we cannot use normal Jetpack Compose View programming to achieve.</p>
<p>The limitation is as below. In any Compose View, it is not possible to compose another view from within, that is Bigger than the Containing (Parent) View or Outside the View (as shown in the Diagram below).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fortunately, Jetpack Compose does provide us with two Compose Components that we can leverage for this purpose</p>
<ol>
<li>Dialog</li>
<li>Popup</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: Both these Components are created not using conventional Jetpack Compose way of programming, instead using <code>AbstractComposeView</code> and also utilizing the <code>WindowManager</code> one has to create it. Hence under the hood, it does require some core Android framework knowledge of development.</p>

<p>The focus of this article is to share everything about Popup, with provided illustrations for one to master it easily. Through it, you might also learn some other fascinating details like Screen Security and Disable Gesture usage.</p>
<p>Let’s check it out.</p>

<p>By default, we can show Popup by using</p>
<pre>
Popup {

}</pre>
<p>However, if we call it just like it, the Popup will always be shown.</p>
<p>To have it only shown upon Button Click, we need to wrap it around some control logic</p>
