Re: [android-developers] Showing Action Bar ONLY on tablet?

Put it there anyway.

Disagreed.

You even claim to have read what she wrote, as you replied to her message.

Many well-rated finger paint applications for Android, specifically
for use by "very young kids", use on-screen controls, as you can tell
if you research your competition.

Yes, but I already have another painting program with on screen controls. The one I am upgrading for Android 4 now is once #1 in Multimedia category (when there was still such a category in Android Market) so I know what I am doing. It has 3 million downloads over the years so I need to be careful with whatever decisions we made - and not just by Google engineers.

I am now faced with the situation of: 1) supporting up to SDK 13 and get back full screen mode in Android 4 devices with a menu in navigation bar - but tablet users will lose the ability to access menu (sucks!), 2) have Action Bar or on screen controls which the users clearly feedback that they don't want. For now, I have to go for 1) since the app has always been full screen (except the navigation bar that I can't control) and only recently started to support tablets. Five stars reviews are back, so this is probably the right path. But I still wanted to support tablet users IF possible.
