Question

For some reason if i long press my menu button while my app is loading content, it is just stops just like i pressed back key.

I dont want the menu button to behave like this so my question is:

How can i completly disable menu button ? I dont ever need it in my app i just want to turn it off.

i tried:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event){

     if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){
        onBackPressed();
     }


    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU){
        return true;
    } 
    else{
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); 
    }

}

Menu button still working…

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.

You must return true for the menu to be displayed; if you return false it will not be shown.
So I’m guessing this will work:

@Override
 public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) {
     .... .....
     return false;
 }
