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:

If you set either minSdkVersion or targetSdkVersion to 11 or higher, the

Right, so since it targets a very old SDK, you're saying they should be
able to simply access the menus through an option in the system bar. In
other words, these people don't know how to use their tablets; their
problem has nothing to do with my app being incompatible with their device,
or

Um, forgive me, but
What Mark said is that you did things the standard way, users without
hard menu button will see a soft one. But if you did it another way, it
won't be shown.
So you should update your app.

Well, that's fair. I'm not denying the the current release is a little old
and targets older SDKs. The app could certainly benefit from some sprucing
up. However, I wanted to verify whether the app *should* essentially work
on modern hardware given that some users were emailing me saying
What's your app? Is on Google play?

Or, test it on an emulator where you have disabled support for the MENU button.

Shead Spreet Lite. I would also be curious about WildSpectra Mobile Lite.
Since they are built in very similar ways (w.r.t. the basic OS framework
and model) I expect their menu behavior to be similar such that verifying
with either one should inform me about both...I presume.

Right, ugh. Thanks. I'm out of practice. I've been testing over USB on
my own device for several months now and have completely blanked on the
emulator. I'll see how that works. Good suggestions.

Why it needs permission to call phone numbers? I rather like to try it on
my N7, but no with such permission, indeed.

OYE! We're off topic and this is a very common complaint. People butt
heads with me over the permissions all. the. time. It's so frustrating. I
do the best I can to explain these things up front on the Android Market

Anyway I realized after writing my previous message that N7 has no phone at

Oh cool. I see what you're getting at. Thanks. I actually know exactly
how that happened. I originally used ACTION_CALL (and therefore had to put
