How can I get to the "Settings" on the FUEL LOG app (Simon Morganthaler's app)?

[RJLOMMD]

I've been using Fuel Log since 2012. Transferred from a Droid RAZR to a Galaxy S5. The key seems to be in getting to the settings menu of the app. Once there you have the options of exporting or importing a .csv file. Once done, all the entries are there.

Enter my upgrade to the S7 Edge. Using Smart Switch all my apps and data came over from the S5 to the S7--even Fuel Log. But what I cannot get to is the settings menu so I can import the .csv file I exported from the S5.

Whenever I press the lower left button--which is how I got to it on the S5--I get the message that the app does not support dual view. I don't want split screen, I want the settings. Any ideas? I'd appreciate the help because its a great app.

If you check the reviews on the Play Store you can see that many people are having problems trying to recover their data. The latest update was in 2011 so if seems the developer is not longer supporting the app. Sorry

You can try using the assistant menu from the settings to enable the menu button feature.

Thank you both for your replies. I did look at the reviews but the app works fine as far as I'm concerned and I have a history going back to 2010 that I would like to keep.

Go to Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Assistant menu. Open Fuel log and navigate through Assistant menu.

Could bot find FUEL LOG in Assistant Menu

What am I doing wrong?

Try a long press of the back button. Samsung changed the long press if the app switcher button to multiwindow switch.

Thank you... Discovered that it can be done by the FOUR SQUARE floating button. One needs to click on MORE OPTIONS

I am having same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S6.
Recently I noticed that my ability to go in settings menu is disappeared from my
Samsung galaxy S6 android phone.

How can I get back my settings without loosing my data.
I am unable to export or import data since tat option is not visible.
I use to have floating Setting menu in this app and now it's not there.

How to restore this floating settings menu?

Thanks

This worked for me
THANK YOU so very much. I also had info since 2012 that I dind't want to loose.

Update: I guess it worked to get the info exported from my Note 4 to Sd card but I can't figure out how to put it on my Note 7

Thanks a ton, I just upgraded to the S7 and thought all was lost. I backed up my data but had no way to get to the menu. The 4 square worked and I'm going again.

Lukasmith, thank you very much, I emailed Simon and got no reply, I thought I will have to look for another app.

It is very simple to export /import your Fuel log data off one phone to the other. I exported from my Samsung Galaxy S-5 to Galaxy S-8 - but there are a couple nuances. On the S-5 press and hold the page button (on the left) a screen will pop up with settings and export/import - follow directions to export. On the S-8 after you installed the Fuel Log app, open it. At the bottom of are the usual controls, but at the far right are 3 vertical dots - press that and the screen will pop up for settings, export /import. Locate your imported file (follow directions where file is to be placed) (you have to do this part) and select it, press import. Done. Note: I emailed the .csv file from one device to the other - there may be other ways, but this worked for me. Hope this helps.

I used the Assistant menu before on my Samsung S7 to change settings in Fuel Log but it doesn't work anymore. The only thing I can do with the Assistant menu is change the settings on my phone.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Either find an app that's currently supported or learn to write one. There's no way to get an unsupported 7 year old app "fixed". (Either the developer lost interest or he died.)

Try a long press of the back button. Samsung changed the long press if the app switcher button to multiwindow switch.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^ Thanks!

I'm confused about this. Will there be two FuelLog windows?

I have an Android, but it's not Samsung.

My answer doesn't work anymore. Android doesn't have a menu button function anymore. If the app doesn't support Android's new interface, you need to find an app that emulates the old menu button or find a new app.

Ahhh phooey. kgilbertsen got my hopes up.

He's probably using an older device. My answer was posted 2016.
Or if you can find anything that can emulate a menu button.
