How can I disable the hardware menu button in my app?

Question

My app has an Activity that needs 'back' and 'menu' hardware buttons disabled. I disabled the 'back' one with onBackPressed but I have no idea how to disable the menu button.

Override the Menu Key like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19202165/overriding-the-physical-menu-button-on-android — Mariano Zorrilla, Sep 03 '15 at 19:44

You should try the key event onKeyDown(). That worked for me.

There is a KEYCODE_MENU you can catch.

in your Activity:

@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
   final int keycode = event.getKeyCode();
   final int action = event.getAction();
    if (keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU && action == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        return true; // consume the key press
    }
    return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}

Update your Gradle files for the app, so you have a current compileSdkVersion,buildToolsVersion, minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion. Then update your Gradle files for the project so you have the current classpath for Gradle, for instance 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'. This solved the problem for me. I tried the solutions suggested above, but they did not work.
