How can I remove or hide the soft menu button in the bottom bar

  • 0

How can I remove or hide the soft menu button in the bottom bar but still keep the overflow menu button in the ActionBar.
I have set the target API to:

android:targetSdkVersion="11"

as suggested here.

My app does have menu items so I am overriding the onCreateOptionsMenu().
The menu button appears both in the right side of the ActionBar and in a bottom bar. I simple don’t want the space in the bottom of screen to be wasted for a duplicate menu button. I have seen apps like YouTube or Google Play which only have menu button in the ActionBar so I assume there should be a way to do this.

    Raising target API to 14 (android:targetSdkVersion="14") solved this problem.
