ANDROID Navigation Bar
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2014 11:10 pm
Anyone have ideas or code they can share around discovering whether a device has hardware navigation buttons (i.e Home) vs. software navigation? Do you size your apps assuming the software buttons are there?
Since Software buttons showed up in ANDROID 4.0, I imagine it is easy enough to get the version being run on the device. But, how do we "know" given the myriad of devices out there?
I am an Apple bigot. So I really don't know if I should just "assume" ANDROID devices are running something 4.0+ and not support anything pre-4.0.
What is the consensus?
