menu button in test

[Shawn Clabough]

Is there a way to simulate the hardware menu button being pressed in the web test device?

The hardware menu button won't be available in your app as you building a mobile web app or hybrid app (via Apache Cordova/PhoneGap).

OK, I'd like to request that a button to simulate it be added to the test header where the buttons to rotate the view and screen sizes are currently.

What I meant, it's not possible to build this menu in your app. To have this menu, you would need to build a native Android app. In Appery.io, you can build mobile web and hybrid apps.

?? On my start screen, I have an event wired to the Menubutton event and when I have the app on my phone, I press the hardware menu button and it activates the event. I'd like to be able to simulate the same thing in test (Mobile Preview). I'm building a hybrid app.

Ah... I see. It's something we considering. Basically, we would like to simulate PhoneGap features/events in the browser when testing.
