Correct. Example: Nexus S. > This includes the emulator as it is assumed to have a physical menu > button. The emulator is configurable. In your AVD Manager, for an AVD, add the "Hardware Back/Home keys" property (which, despite the name, also has the MENU key) and set it to be true or false as you wish. > Unless I missed something in the previous discussions, or there has > been a breakthrough since, there is NO possible way to make the > overflow button show up if there is a physical hardware key. AFAIK, you are correct. Particularly for those users who have Android 2.x devices that get upgraded to ICS, they will already be used to pressing MENU to get the options menu, and so Google elected to continue supporting that behavior. What remains to be seen is how many Android devices native to ICS or higher wind up with MENU keys versus the navigation soft keys in the system bar. > If true, I will tell Jennifer not to spend anymore time on this.
