[BogDan]

Hi,

  If you are using a QMainWindow which have menus, then the menu bar will be displayed automatically.


Cheers,
BogDan.

Hello again.

Concerning this issue (being able to call the native menu from the 
application), is there anything I can try?

The thing is that some users are on a samsumg galaxy s5, for which they 
just removed the menu key so the application must provide a menu-button 
somewhere (well the user can press-long the new "Task" button instead 
but nobody knows it). Some other devices also do not have a physical 
menu button (nexus for instance). I found various posts on internet 
concerning this, for instance:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15250024/show-options-menu-button-on-galaxy-nexus-android-4-1

What would be the best way to deal with that kind of devices? I do need 
a menu somewhere :)

Thanks,
Philippe Lelong
