Quoting the documentation: "Beginning with Android 4.0, you'll notice that handsets no longer require a Menu hardware button. However, there's no need for you to worry about this if your existing application provides an options menu and expects there to be a Menu button. To ensure that existing apps continue to work as they expect, the system provides an on-screen Menu button for apps that were designed for older versions of Android. "For the best user experience, new and updated apps should instead use the ActionBar to provide access to menu items and set targetSdkVersion to "14" to take advantage of the latest framework default behaviors." http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html I presume that the MENU soft button will be in the navigation bar on handsets that lack off-screen MENU buttons. This will become clearer once I get my grubby little hands on the Galaxy Nexus. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
