Question

I would like to convert/adapt my application to Android 4.0.
To do so I plan to use the ActionBar on devices that support it.
All Android version >= 3.0 do so. Furthermore devices that do not have a hardware menu button seem to show an “menu” button on the actionbar automatically.

When I test my application on the emulator using API level 13 this does work as expected…
… but somehow I’m not able to setup the emulator to behave the same way while emulating a phone on API level 14 (Android 4.0).
When I try to set “Hardware Back/Home keys” to false there are no buttons at all (not on the screen and not keypad provided by the emulator).

I have seen on some screenshots and videos from the “Galaxy Nexus” that it is showing an “menu” button on the ActionBar as well … like Honeycomb tablets do it, but I’m somehow not successful to do the same with the emulator which makes it a bit more complicated to understand how my UI will work on Andoid 4.0 phones.

EDIT:
Here is an image that is showing the On-Screen back and home buttons I would like to see in the emulator:

Answer 1

It seems the issue was fixed with the latest update of the SDK (R16).
Just update your SDK and ADT to R16 and create a new emulator using the updated Android 4.0 system image.
