[android-developers] Re: Emulator for Samsung GT-P3100 7"

Solved.  I was able to replicate the problem using the 7" WSVGA tablet image under the Device Definitions.  Interesting thing and possibly a bug in the image is that I couldn't even get a navigation bar with version 4.0.3 which is what the user has and that was on any app including the built in ones.  With 4.2 installed the navigation bar came back and the menu overflow displayed. 

The blog item "Say Goodbye to the Menu Button" could use a rewrite.  Even the writer admits the whole thing is a bit confusing.  For my app I had set the targetSDK in the manifest to 11 and setting it back to 9 solved the problem.  This needs to be sorted out and made clearer in the docs.

I have a customer who reports that with my recent update the menu icon has disappeared.  I'm assuming the whole bottom bar has disappeared.  However my update took that into account and the target SDK is set at 11 and the build SDK for 9.  I'm using the support-4 jar.  The configuration for this device (some places referred to as the Galaxy 2 7" ) seems about the same as a Nexus 7.  However the Nexus 7 emulator does not replicate this problem.  I'm assuming that the device is picking up the wrong dimens.xml  and thus actually pushing off the entire bottom bar.   Some what is the oddity about the GT-P3100? 

It took a bit of experimentation to get emulators to select the proper dimens.xml folder as they apparently don't work the way the documentation say they do.  For instance my Galaxy Nexus phone needed a values-sw360p folder not a 320p as suggested in the docs.

I'm also hoping that the new licensing for manufacturers that Google announced the other day put an end to these wildass pixel densities that give developers headaches.
