There is no "Accounts and Sync" on Jelly Bean in Settings, so I do not know what you are referring to. > Today I've noticed that latest version of the Chrome browser on my Android > 4.0.4 device does actively use both Action Bar and Options Menu but for > DIFFERENT purposes. On my Nexus S (4.1), Chrome has an action bar for contextual operations (an "action mode"), plus a fake overflow menu. An options menu looks different (2 x 3 grid of choices). And the overflow menu is fake, as I am reasonably certain that we cannot have a three-part menu choice, where they have forward/back/favorite buttons. However, that will only be true for devices with an off-screen MENU button. For devices that do not (e.g., Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7; both 4.1), the address bar contains the overflow menu. Hence, other than the fact that the overflow menu is faked, this is precisely the expected behavior. Devices with a MENU button will have no visual on-screen affordance to bring up the overflow, and it rises from the bottom of the screen. Devices without a MENU button will have the on-screen (and, ideally, in action bar) affordance to bring up the overflow menu. Chrome uses a fake action bar (on tablets, it is inside the tabs) and a fake overflow menu. You are certainly welcome to do the same in your apps. The objective is not necessarily for all apps to use the same implementation of these things, but for things to behave basically the same for users. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in DC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
