Can't open settings menu or save chords

[shanemd]

Hi @marcelklehr,

Thanks for putting out this cool app. It looks like it could be really useful. Unfortunately I can't seem to use some of the features. Specifically, I can't figure out how to save cords after I find and view them.

I'm wondering if the app is designed for older versions of Android, which always had a 'settings' button, which newer versions of Android don't have.

Any thoughts?

It appears that way :( A new button would need to be added.

I solved this problem on my fork by changing the Android SDK version from 3/4 to 11. Apparently that's when the dedicated menu button disappeared and the menu was added to a default 'App bar' on the top of every App.

This removes support for old devices though. I'm not sure how to do both.

Mmmh. I'm not sure how f-droid handles updates that remove support for some android versions. Ideally, older phones should still be able to install the older versions.

F-droid certainly allows installing older versions of apps. I'm not sure it handles compatability at all actually. It might just leave it up to the OSs apk installer to refuse incompatable apps.

Also, I switched the build over to Gradle on my fork, as I couldn't find a build.xml in the source for ant to work with. You can probably just change the SDK number in your build.xml though. Unless there's another way to build, I think it might be nice to have the build.xml committed to the tree. Do you have build instructions anywhere?
