J JonB New Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 13, 2012 #1 I have searched and not found an answer of the forum (or any asks re this). Most apps on ICS / JB have little "..." buttons to display settings / configuration. My app when running in debug also has this button. How do i add code to put my settings via this? Thanks Jon.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 13, 2012 #2 The three dots button is the standard menu button. It should appear by default. It will not appear if you add android:targetSdkVersion="14" to the manifest file. Upvote 0

And, in my app the three dots button appears on the screen only after update my smartphone to Lollipop; before (Android Kitkat) it didn't not appear. Why? Thanks Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 11, 2015 #7 This is how Android is designed. The three dots appear in the bottom bar on "old" applications as a backwards compatibility solution. On new applications the three dots appear in the title bar if there is no hardware menu button.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 15, 2015 #9 No. However you can add a custom button yourself and call Activity.OpenMenu. Upvote 0
