Android Question How to force use of overflow menu on devices with menu button

[imbault]

Hi,

We (our company) are getting new samsung galaxy S4 mobiles. Android 4.2 is the installed OS.
We want to install some of my app, but as those devices have menu button, the menu 3 dots doesn't appear, and there is no way for the user to know that he has to press on the menu button to get them appear...

I have tried many options, now my manifest includes that :
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

I tried android:targetSdkVersion="10" Idem

I add in the module attributes:
#IncludeTitle: True

And my menu are simply that:
Activity.AddMenuItem2("Map view","mapv",Null)

I tried Activity.AddMenuItem3("Map view","mapv",Null, true) Idem

How to show those 3 dots upper right???

I read this thread on stackoverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-of-overflow-menu-on-devices-with-menu-button

Any help, please?

Just add a simple button and call Activity.OpenMenu.

I use:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

Just add a simple button and call Activity.OpenMenu.

That's less than optimal.
