[Android-development] Access to Application Menu and Preferences without HW-Button

Hello,
Some Android devices do not have HW-button Menu,
i.e. Nexus-7.

What is the way to get access to the application menu
(menu of the main window) in such cases?

On devices with HW-button "Menu", pressing the button
activates the menu.

It is particularly important to access application Preferences:
the QAction item acting as QAction::PreferencesRole menu-role.

At least true for Nexus-6 Android-4.3. every active application
sets to Android bar symbol with 3 vertical dots -
application Preferences.

Am I missing some standard way or Qt-Android specific way
to get to the application menu and/or to application Preferences
menu action without HW-button?
Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Robert
