So what's the verdict on this? I have an app that runs in landscape. Running this even on a large size phone with Ice Cream Sandwich (on the Emulator right now for lack of access to a real device), the Action Bar takes up a major amount of space on the screen. Add an AdMob Banner to this, and there is very little space left on the screen for your application.
You can design different layouts - one for xlarge screens using the Action Bar, and one for all smaller screens, using regular menus. Unless your device has a hardware menu-key, this will leave you however with the issue that the user will never be able to invoke your menu as Android won't display a menu button (as confirmed on a real device by String's post above). So unless you can live with the significantly smaller screen-real- estate that the Action Bar will leave you with, the only solution seems to be to leave the target-SDK setting at 9, as to ensure Android will always display a menu key on the screen. How are you guys planning to handle this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
