I have the Sound Manager app . The app dates back to Android 2.2 and needs a hardware menu button press to launch its menu .
Can I emulate the hardware menu button on my KitKat 4.4 device , so that I can see the menu?
How to Emulate hardware menu button
Question
Answer
On my Samsung SM-J100H (Android KitKat 4.4.4), I can get the effect I want with a long press on the App Switch hardware button. I tested it in two apps:
On Sound Manager app, the menu slides out from the bottom of the screen.
On the Stack Exchange app, an 'Ask Question' button pops up across the bottom of the screen (but only in portrait orientation.)
