If you have been using Flash Builder burrito you may have noticed that currently there is no support for the native menu system available to Java Android apps. I expect this is something that will be included in the final release of the up coming Flash Builder.
I have created a temporarily work around which seems to work quite nicely until an update is available. You must listen manually for the Menu hardware key press in your app.
<s:MobileApplication
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
applicationComplete="init()">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
protected function init():void {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
}
private function keyDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.MENU) {
trace("Handle Menu button");
}
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
</s:MobileApplication>
Once you have received your menu event you can handle it however you like. I have created a gingerbread styled menu which you can use in your own apps. See below:
You can view a normal Flash example here where the source code is available here or view the context menu
