Android Question Replacement of Hardware menu button

[marcel]

Hi,

In more and more devices the hardware menu button is removed like the Samsung S6. What is the most logical way to replace this functionality? I have a short menu that pop-up when you press this hardware button.

If the action bar is visible then it will automatically show the overflow menu icon (three dots) at the top right corner.

Ok, Maybe stupid but how do I get an action bar?

Make sure that android:targetSdkVersion is set to 14 and that your app is not full screen.
