Menu icon (4 flat lines / 'hamburger' icon) (SOLVED)

Post by Traxgeek » Fri Sep 12, 2014 7:57 am

Hi,
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to invoke/display, populate and interact with the 'standard' Android 4 flat/horizontal lined 'default menu' button please.

This button/icon is often displayed in the 'lower task/options bar' (?) area, next to the 'return', 'home' and 'recent apps' buttons.

Many of the apps I use, use this button to offer a basic menu structure - which kinda slides up / is displayed above the' lower task/options bar' when this button is tapped...

Any pointers please ?

Thanks a mil.

Hi,

Try the menuKey, e.g.

Code: Select all

on menuKey
  set the vis of grp "Settings" to not the vis of grp "Settings"
end menuKey
Best,

Thanks Mark,

I'd searched under 'menu' in the Dictionary but... welll... :oops: ... missed this one completely...
Again, Thanks a mil.
As an aside (trying to keep my cross-platform functionality theme) and accepting this is not an iOS forum, is there a similar button / control for iOS ?
Much obliged.
