Hi all, I just run into this issue too. I'm using minsdk set to 8 and target to 11. According to the blog here: http://android-developers.blogspot.hu/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html
- If you set either minSdkVersion or targetSdkVersion to 11 or higher, the system *will not* add the legacy overflow button. - Otherwise, the system *will* add the legacy overflow button when running on Android 3.0 or higher. - 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. This would indicate that I meet the third (exception) condition so it would have a compatibility action overflow button, and indeed, it appears on my Galaxy Nexus running jelly bean, but NOT on a Nexus 7. i.e. The Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Nexus behaves differently even if they are running the same OS version... Is this because the Nexus 7 is not considered a *handset* ??? I feel this was not a good decision to have different behavior for different form factors that FUNCTIONALLY handicap the programs. Does anybody have information on this?
