How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

[OMA2k]

I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).

BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).

So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

So, is this possible? I hope so.

i noticed the same thing.  Any answer? I am rolling back to 2.6.

Since nobody answered this since I originally posted more than a month ago, I guess this can't be done? (showing the Menu button in AIR 2.7, which was possible in AIR 2.6)

So, I've filed a bug:

Still not fixed in AIR3

There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue.  Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels.  If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework.  See below link for more info and work around.

So that's the reason

Thanks for the heads up!
