Hi, I’m not sure what code / library they use, but if you look at e.g. the gmail app, they have a slide-in menu which appears if you press the 3 bar icon always visible in the top left of the screen.

I have not run into this issue using `onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu)` before. Perhaps it's related to using the framework Activity class (android.app.Activity) directly instead of one from the support libraries? Oh, I see. Out of curiosity, what approach is it that they use? I quickly went through some of the apps at https://android.googlesource.com/ but the ones I looked at seemed to be using `onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu)` to provide their menus.

See e.g. http://forum.meizu.com/viewthread.php?tid=14087 The fact that even apps by Google itself use a different approach for menus speaks volumes… Cheers, Peter From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Joel Pettersson Sent: 21 October 2015 19:13 To: mnemosyne-proj-users <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [mnemosyne-proj-users] No option to sync on Android App I came across the long press solution a while ago, but seem to have responded only to the original author (and got no response), so sorry for that. The standard way of providing an options menu in an Android activity is through the `boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)` method. It is described in detail over here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#options-menu. This works on any device, with or without menu hardware button.

BTW, it’s really strange that the standard Android way of presenting a menu is so poorly supported, and not even Google’s own apps use it. For a next version, I will use a non-standard menu, which should be always visible.

With my old Note (Android 4.3) I could just use the softkey at the bottom left to get the menu up. But on the new Note (Android 5.1.1) there seemed to be no option to access the menu from this location, as it only opened a list of recently opened apps. It took me a few days to figure out (actually by accident!), that a long press of the bottom left soft key finally solved the issue. I thought I post this to help others who might encounter the same problem. Thanks, for a great piece of software.

Issue: No menu/buttons on the app to invoke sync feature.

I seem to remember from a previous post that on certain Samsung models you needed to do something special to get an app's menu to appear. Or perhaps your phone has a dedicated hardware menu button (something like 3 horizontal stripes)?
