[jira] [Resolved] (CB-3068) Android menu not appearing as actionoverflow

["Joe Bowser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3068?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joe Bowser resolved CB-3068.
----------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This is an Android issue, not a PhoneGap issue.  All we do on onCreateOptionsMenu, onPrepareOptionsMenu and onOptionsItemSelected is provide hooks for third party plugins to be used and fire events that the menu button was pressed.

[~macdonst] has a tutorial on how to do this in Java here, http://simonmacdonald.blogspot.com/2012/11/building-native-menu-with-phonegap.html

I have an example of how to use CordovaWebView with a native action bar, which also has a menu.  This can be found here: https://github.com/infil00p/CordovaActionView

> The android native menu is not opening when pressing menu button while using PhoneGap. When I am pressing menu button, onCreateOptionsMenu() method is getting called but the menu is not getting created. 
> public class PhoneGapActivity extends DroidGap {
>     @Override
>     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
>         super.setBooleanProperty("showTitle", true);
>         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
>         super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
>     }
>     @Override
>     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
>         // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
>         super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
>         Log.d("Menu","Menu option called");
>         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.phone_gap, menu);
>         return true;
>     }
> }
> The log is getting printed, that means the function is getting called.
> XML file for menu: When the android:showAsAction is set to always, its showing in the action bar, otherwise its not showing in the actionoverflow.
> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
>     <item

>     <item
