Ok, well... I am correct in that the behavior was intended for Legacy
devices. And that it doesn't work on my device. I guess it is
device/manufacturer-dependent then on when that functionality was removed.

What proof do you have that this was intended for legacy devices? This is
a very useful functionality any time you want to filter a list -- there is
SDK support for this type of filtering which only works with the keyboard.
So unless I see something from Google that this was removed

*As an aside: long press on MENU was only intended for backwards
compatibility, and thus has some perhaps surprising behavior in how
strongly the soft keyboard stays up when it is used. This is not intended
I know this is strictly not the right forum to ask this, but there are a
lot of smart people on here who probably have an answer
Pre-ICS, you could long-press the Menu button on the phone to bring up the
soft keyboard. I used this behavior to allow filtering on list items by
the user
I'm pretty sure that functionality was gone long before ICS... I have an LG
G2x running Gingerbread and I just tested the long-press of the menu
button... nothing happens.
But I would expect that... That functionality was supported only for legacy
purposes on older devices.
Thanks,
Justin
You are incorrect. It works on a stock 2.3.6 Nexus One.
