[android-developers] Nexus 7 has no menu button?

2012-09-19 Thread Keith Wiley
I don't have access to a Nexus 7 but I'm getting feedback from users that 
they can't access the menus in my app...like, at all...which I find 
perplexing since I use the same standard menus that all Android apps use 
(including the Android home-screen).  If the Nexus 7 doesn't have a 
relatively obvious menu button, it seems to me that the majority of Android 
apps, including the home-screen, would be veritably unusable.

Can anyone help me understand what's going on here?

Thanks.

Many Android devices do not have a MENU button. Most tablets do not
have a MENU button. The Galaxy Nexus does not have a MENU button.

If you are using standard options menus and you are showing the action
bar, then they will continue to work (the action bar will have a ...
button for devices that lack a MENU button to access your menu). Or,
if you are using standard options menus and your targetSdkVersion is
set to 10 or lower, the user can get at your menu (e.g., via a menu
button in the system bar on tablets). If, on the other hand, you used
the MENU button for other purposes, or are not showing the action bar
with a targetSdkVersion of 11 or higher, that would explain some of
your difficulty.
