Re: [android-developers] Menu button/icon not showing up in Honeycomb

2011-03-08 Thread Dianne Hackborn
As long as you don't target HC (API 11), you will get the menu button.  If
you do target HC, there will not be a menu button.

And what do you mean by saying you are calling onCreateOptionsMenu()?  You
don't call that; it is called for you.

Are you sure? It looks like a miniature six-item options menu. It will
appear as the right-most button in the roster of soft buttons on the
left of the system bar.

No, it pretty much just works. This sample app, for example, shows an
options menu and works fine on the XOOM:

[android-developers] Menu button/icon not showing up in Honeycomb

2011-03-08 Thread Stephen Lebed
In my app I'm calling onCreateOptionsMenu() which works as expected on
pre 3.0 devices.  When I run the app on the Xoom there isn't a menu
button displayed at the bottom of the screen to allow access to the
menu options.  Does anyone know how to force it to be displayed, or is
there something special I need to do to get the menu button to appear?

Thanks,
Stephen
