Question

Im a running my app on the logitech revue. The menu does not appear up top like it should. Can you point out what I am doing wrong or direct me to some resources.
Here are some specifics.

• Theme: Theme.holo
• android:minSdkVersion=”8″ android:targetSdkVersion=”8″
• Device : Logitech Revue

Here are some snippets of the essentials:

 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
      Log.i("MENU","Opening menu");
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
      return true;
  } 

In res/menu I have the menu.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:id="@+id/catalog"
     android:title="Profile info"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>


<item android:id="@+id/newvideos"
    android:title="Playlist"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
     android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    />


<item android:id="@+id/popularvideos"
    android:title="Play Video"
    android:onClick="handleCick"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
 />

To show the action bar you have to set either minSdkVersion or targetSdkVersion to 11 or above as stated in Action Bar – Adding the action bar. I suggest you change the targetSdkVersion to stay compatible with lower API levels.

This is how it works in general, the logitech revue seems to be a google tv device. I have no experience with that, not sure if there are any special things to consider.
