Hopefully that's useful to the next person who bumps into this thread. In that post: The only exception is that if you set minSdkVersion to 10 or lower, set targetSdkVersion to 11, 12, or 13, and you do not use ActionBar<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActionBar.html>, the system *will* add the legacy overflow button when running your app *on a handset* with Android 4.0 or higher. I am not able to trigger the overflow button this way. In my AndroidManifest.xml I have: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="11" /> and <application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar"> But this doesn't show the legacy overflow buttons. If I could get that to work, it will solve the immediate problem I am facing which is to get into "Lights off" mode and yet have a way to go to the legacy options menu from the navigation bar on the bottom . thanks, -- Harshad RJ http://lavadip.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
