Android Question Problem with OpenMenu on Android v5.1

[davemorris]

Hi, Guys

Got a problem with Activity.OpenMenu not working on a Tablet running Android v5.1 when the Activity Attribute "#includeTitle: false". It is OK when "#includeTitle:true" is used.

It does work however on a phone running v5.1.1 and OK on all my other Android devices v6 thro' to v10.

I have attached a test project to demonstrate the problem.

Any ideas

Regards
Dave

It is expected. The menu belongs to the action bar (title).

Use B4XDrawer or B4XListTemplate or any other custom menu.

Hi, Erel
Thanks for your input, I certainly take your point but I do have a related question.

I have used Activity.OpenMenu on other Android devices v6+ without problems (with "#includeTitle: false" ) .
Question - Have I an underlying problem with using OpenMenu (without the Title bar) and should I modify my code to use B4XDrawer or B4XListTemplate or any other custom menu?

Yes. As you saw, it will not work on all devices.

Yes Erel
You are correct - I need to drop using OpenMenu - There appears to be a lot of old Tablets still running Android v5.1
