Question

I have a layout with a listview and an EditText. I ve created a menu with some options.

The problem is: When the Textview is focused, the native menu button doesnt work (This only happens for Samsung Smartphones) !

How can I solve this ?

Thanks

I had a similar problem with EditText. I used setOnKeyListener() on the Edit Text. The EditText would get the focus as soon as the Activity started and it was trashing the menu key action so onCreateOptionsMenu() was not being called.

Adding

if( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU ){
  return false;
}

on the EditText OnKeyListener.onKey() methodfixed the problem.
