Android Question menu item

[merlin2049er]

Hi, for some odd reason my menu items are not appearing on a Tesco Hudl android tablet. I don't have any issues with my Samsung Tablet.

Any ideas why that virtual button maybe missing from the Hudl?

Different implementation of an Android-Release?
Some (or even most) Providers do a port of the main Android-System to put some providerspecific apps on it, or having dirfferent defaults in some settings and so on... Maybe Hudl doesnt port everything OR Samsung has ported more than needed to give their users this Feature.

For myself i have decided to use an AHActionbar and put the menu by myself into the actionbar ignoring the standardmenufunction (In apps where i need a menu). Ok, if hardwarebutton available and the user press it i call my menu.

Make sure that in the manifest file you have this
android:targetSdkVersion="10"
(not 14 or above)
If this is the reason for the problem then you'll have 3 dots as the menu symbol.

Ok, I'll set that. I never had to specify anything in the manifest for a menu item before.

It is not specific for the menu item, just that the later android versions removed the soft menu symbol...
