I am trying to build an Android application and want a menu on it. The point is that the menu options only work with a menu button. So what about the new mobiles that don’t have this button. Ok, I can use
openOptionsMenu();
and open the menu programmatically but when I touch the screen, the menu disappears.
What is the simplest way to make a static nice menu which looks like a real one but not using the menu button?
I believe android took the menu button out for a reason, I can’t imagine it would be a good idea to try and make your app look like it has a static menu button. Maybe you should reconsider you UI design and look into action bars
