    Menu Button Missing?

    Thank you karsdroid. It has been a while since I tried one my own developed apps on a recent version. On my phone (running Android 8.1.0) the long press is on the "recent apps" button. I wonder which Android SDK API change prompted this.

    Google Navigation and Voices

    As a developer in the text-to-speech arena, I can tell you that certain user preferences can be overridden by the programmer. For example, I do that with speech input so that users in non-English speaking countries can still use VoiceSee in the only language currently supported: US English. So...
