Yeah what is the app name, I might have access to a nexus 7. I do have access to a 4.0 tablet that does not have any hard menu keys. I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can find the menu. I would consider myself an above average user who should be able to find the menu if it really is there hidden someplace J

I'm not denying the the current release is a little old and targets older SDKs. The app could certainly benefit from some sprucing up. However, I wanted to verify whether the app *should* essentially work on modern hardware given that some users were emailing me saying they didn't know how to access the menus. There's a big difference between saying I ought to update my app when I get a chance to keep things smooth and modern and saying the app is effectively broken on modern hardware and won't work until I release an emergency patch to get it going again. I was just trying to get a better picture of the circumstances. I *think* this discussion has cleared it up, and I *think* my app should be working on modern devices, albeit through an OS sidedoor meant as a temporary fix until older apps are updated. I'll have to try to find a Nexus to test it on myself to be absolutely certain of the circumstances. Thanks again.

But if you did it another way, it won't be shown. So you should update your app. On Sep 19, 2012 11:08 PM, "Keith Wiley" <[email protected]> wrote: On Wednesday, September 19, 2012 1:58:42 PM UTC-7, bob wrote: Many of the latest Android devices have eliminated the hard menu key found on earlier hardware. Consequently, it's now the responsibility of app developers to include soft menu keys in their apps. Um, forgive me, but this response seems fundamentally at odds with Mark's initial response. Which response is closer to the correct answer? Is my app inherently broken on such devices or not?
