This is really dabatable and a matter of personal opinion...I would have liked the Action Bar of my app to look the same weather there is a physical menu button or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Showing Overflow menu button on ICS.
But why do the google apps (like Google+) use overflow in the action bar on
devices with physical menu button if this is considered bad?

There is. With hack below you can force the appearance of the overflow
menu even if there is a physical button menu
with target SDK = 14. Of course you must never use it since it is a
horrible hack, and nobody shall use hacks ever, especially on Android !
static public void setHasPermanentMenuKey(Context context, boolean value)
{
if (isICSOrLater()) {
ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(context);
try {
Field f = ViewConfiguration.class
.getDeclaredField(sHasPermanentMenuKey);
f.setAccessible(true);
if (f != null) {
f.set(config, value);
log.info(Successfully hacked permanent menu key);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.info(Unable to hack permanent menu key: + ex);
}
}
}

Re: [android-developers] Re: Showing Overflow menu button on ICS.
They might have their own action bar implementation, just like gmail on 2.*
uses its own, rather than the framework's Quick Contact Badge (you can tell
on HTC devices, which has a modified version of this class in their
firmware).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Showing Overflow menu button on ICS.
It's a bug in the app; the app isn't using the standard action bar.
