Is there a way to have software Home, Menu and Back keys? I am developing apps for an Android device that does not have any hardware keys except for a power button and I have been running into hurdles left and right. Not having a keyboard is not a big problem but my lack of hardware Home, Menu, and Back keys is killing me.
By sending a "Go to home screen" intent I can simulate the Home key but I have yet to find a way to have software Back and Menu buttons. Worse yet, even if I did get my keys working I don't see how to make them always available to the user. There doesn't seem to be a way to keep them accessable from the status bar and I haven't found a way of creating a floating menu that always stays on top of all other activities. I might be able to bring up my menu using the power button but I'm not sure it will work. Does anyone have any insight into this? -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
