Unfortunately, I'm afraid you're wasting your time. Having a way of bringing up additional UI that is standard across apps, off-screen so that it never gets in the way, and always accessible is seen as bad. Having to push the physical menu button to see if an app has options is seen as unacceptable. What the reasons are I'm still not clear about. The issue is brought up regularly here but they won't discuss the reasons or the problems the current state brings about for some classes of apps. Apparently, Google is dead set on having their way here at any cost. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
