Android Question open menu problem

[aeropic]

Hi All,

I own a Pipo m8pro chineese tablet. This tablet has a physical button associated to "menu" functions.
When using activity menus, the code works fine on my Galaxy S3 but does nothing on the Pipo m8.

I added those lines and a software button to activate them:

Sub BtnMenu_Click
    'Activity.OpenMenu
    CallSubDelayed(Me, "OpenMenu")
End Sub

On the S3, no problem, the menu opens whatever the way it is called, but on the pipo: nothing ...

The pipo's android version is supposed to be 4.2.2.

When setting the Sdk target to 10 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="10"/>, a software button appears on the screen and the menu appears (a little bit old style ...)

Is this a normal behavior ? Is there a way to get a software button AND the SDK 14 look ?

thanks
Alain

Activity.OpenMenu should open the menu on all devices.

Well Activity OpenMenu does the job only with SDK Target < 10 ... Maybe a problem with the custom rooted ROM !

Erel,
Activity.OpenMenu opens the menu on any Android, but under Android 5 - if to open the menu at FirstTime - it cannot be closed, and Activity does not work at all, until HOME button tap or this pop-up menu tap.

Just tested it on Android 5.0. Pressing on the back button closes the menu.

Emulator 5.x does not close popped up menu (shown at the bottom, but "..." menu system button shows the menu at the top) at the very first opening. :-(

Might be an emulator problem.
