I noticed that in my app when I add a menu for new devices that dont have a hardware menu button it adds the three dots to the actionbar. However, I see on some apps that you can actually move those three dots to the bottom (on the software navigation)
How can this be achieved? I am using actionbarsherlock as well if that makes a difference.
You can “achieve” this by setting your
targetSdkbelow 14. I say “achieve”, because this is bad practice. For devices that have software keys, as long as you’re using a theme with the ActionBar, it will display the menu on the ActionBar. If you’re using a theme without the ActionBar (non-Holo), it will display the three dots.The three dots are hated.
The three dots are evil.
The three dots must. be. eradicated.
In short, I’d avoid it. 🙂
