I've published an update to my Android app, and the customers are complaining that the soft menu button (...
) does not appear anymore. The app goes a long way back, it has a menu. For tablet screens on Android 3+, I apply the Holo theme and the menu appears as an action bar; but on phones, the action bar is not really an option because of space constraints.
I was happy with the soft menu key that Android would provide, except it went away and I can't figure out why. The changes that could affect this since the last release were:
- Increased the target SDK from 14 to 17
- Updated the Android dev tools
Reverting the target SDK back to 14 by itself does not help - I've got one complaining customer to install a private build and check. Reverting the dev tools back is hardly an option.
Please, what's the party line on the option menu these days?
