Android Question Different versions of android

[AHilberink]

Hi,

Till now I was working to develop for version 2.3 of Android. I now have to develop for > version 4.x with also a different screenformat.

So far, I have a fixed version/screenformat I did choose for per project.

Is there a way to develop for more versions and screenformats at once(dynamically)?
Are there examples?

Thanks,
André

Versions, I usually target from 1.6 upwards, so all versions after that will execute the code.

Screen Formats.. You should see here : http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/supporting-multiple-screens-tips-and-best-practices.17647/

I have started to generate screen formats programmatically, then all formats are automatically covered.

Thanks a lot. I will try this.

Is there a workout for the menubutton as well? Now I don't have a menubutton, because on the Phone there is one. On the new Phone 4.x I need a software 3 dot menubutton. So this have to be automatically also.

Best regards,
André

You need to look at the min. target version in your manifest. This will dictate if you have one or not.

My min. target is 4.

Can you tell me how I should use it? I cann't get it work. No 3 dot menu button on my AVD.

What's your targetsdk set to?

See here : http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/3-dot-menu-button.28786/#post-167075

In my Apps I don't want to see it, so I get rid of it by using the following :

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4"
android:targetSdkVersion="14" />

Actually I think if you set targetSdkVersion to 14 or more it should display, how you want. Follow the link above.

I think I did everything according to the post. My targetSdkVersion="15", but no menu-button.

Thanks for helping, but I think I have to build an actionbar myself.

Did you set the Activity Atributes correctly?

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: true
#End Region

With

#IncludeTitle: false

you get no Three-Point-Menu in the Title.

Thanks Manfred.
I do have IncludeTitle: True, but I also have FullScreen: True. I will change this to False and see what happened.

With Fullscreen true you dont have an TitleBar. So you dont have an TitleBar which can show the Button.
IMHO you should use fullscreen false and title true if you want to see the three-point-menu-Button.
