I don't understand that reasoning, but I'm sure you've done the best you can. A person who set targetApiVersion to 11, would know that devices with 11 and up convert menus to action bars. Therefore, they would not expect to need a menu button after version 11. Sure, there might have been a time when I didn't know whether ICS was going to use actionbars, or whether it might be using actionbars on tablets and menus on phones. But I didn't ever expect that I would need a menu button on a device that had an actionbar. I don't really miss menu buttons because the users never found them anyway. Now, on the HTC One X, they jump right out at you, and you don't need them. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
