Wordpress Walker 4 different ID - php

Question

I'm now working on a walker function to add directly to my wordpress menu (nav). The Walker is working great, but, I have a problem (question), here is my code :
class WPSE_78121_Sublevel_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "\n$indent<div class='dropdown-sub' id='dropdown-'><div class='dd-e'>
<ul>\n";
}
function end_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "$indent</ul></div></div></div>\n";
}
}
on the line :
$output .= "\n$indent<div class='dropdown-sub' id='dropdown-'><div class='dd-e'>
I would like to have 4 different ids (one for each menu generator) only one id per each div, but 4 different one, like dropdown-first, dropdown-second...
How I can do that ? Or is there an other way to do that ?
Thank you
Bernard

try this code
class Description_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
/**
* Start the element output.
*
* #param string $output Passed by reference. Used to append additional content.
* #param object $item Menu item data object.
* #param int $depth Depth of menu item. May be used for padding.
* #param array $args Additional strings.
* #return void
*/
function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {
// depth dependent classes
$indent = ( $depth > 0 ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '' ); // code indent
$display_depth = ( $depth + 1); // because it counts the first submenu as 0
$classes = array(
'nav-submenu',
( $display_depth % 2 ? 'menu-odd' : 'menu-even' ),
( $display_depth >=2 ? 'sub-sub-menu' : '' ),
'menu-depth-' . $display_depth
);
$class_names = implode( ' ', $classes );
// build html
$output .= "\n" . $indent . '<ul class="' . $class_names . '">' . "\n";
}
