Description Brion Vibber 2012-07-25 20:48:54 UTC 
Currently we use the Android 2.x-style menu, which is invisible until triggered by the menu key.

This causes the back-compat menu button to show on Android 3/4/4.1, which isn't very pretty.

We should switch to either using a real ActionBar or displaying the menu in a similar style, with a vertical "..." button on the upper-right-corner of the bar.

Note that in theory at least, if there *is* a physical menu button we shouldn't show the overflow menu in the bar, but should let it be triggered by the menu button and act like in 2.x -- we should check whether we want to do that or just go fancy-style since it looks nicer.

IMO we should just switch to a Real ActionBar - if we switch to a js based action bar, we'll have to keep them separate for iOS and Android. If we're keeping them different, why not go all the way anyway?

/me pushes for a general direction more towards native
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2013-01-18 05:31:17 UTC 
Future native app will use either a real ActionBar or something else (side slide-in menus), and will be native. :) CLosing out for phonegap app
