Aw: Re: [android-developers] Determine if device has only SoftMenu Keys ?
If you have a Game / App that uses a Full Screen you might want to make sure that Tablets that only have softkeys are not running in a Dead End, because afaik softkeys are not visible on certain views. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

From an earlier post here I remember that it is not possible to distinguish between hardware and software keys with the same function (including IME) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If I understand you correctly, the soft keys are part of the display itself and can be hidden by a full screen app? That doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure it's required that devices running Android provide certain keys, in particular the Home key, at all times to give the user some way out of the app (i.e. they cannot come to a Dead End, as you put it). - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The Home, Menu and Back functions are essential to the Android navigation paradigm. Device implementations MUST make these functions available to the user at all times, regardless of application state I did not bother to look for CDD for Honeycomb (not sure if it's yet publicly available) but do not expect anyone to be allowed to left user in described state (at least for devices that come with Market) Regards, Marcin Orlowski *Tray Agenda http://bit.ly/trayagenda* - keep you daily schedule handy... *Date In Tray* http://bit.ly/dateintraypro - current date at glance...
