- Zikes 15y agoIncompatible with ICS, maybe?
- Rabidgremlin 15y agoI suspect so because you cannot get rid of the onscreen system bar along the bottom. I wish Google would create a security permission for apps to be able to turn this bar off.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoAllowing it would create security issues; nothing to stop the app from showing a fake system bar that appears to let you out of the app, but actually keeps you in and snoops information. And having no hardkeys means there's no 'safety hatch' that you know will get you out of the app (like Flash's "esc to close" warning)
- estel 15y agoBut don't the controls that overwrite handling of the hardware back/back buttons apply equally to the software buttons? And if there's no other way back out of it, the multi-tasking app should be redundant by default.
- martythemaniak 15y agoRight now, we've only tested the app on 2.2 and 2.3, which we thought was a good compromise between getting it out there and covering a decently large chunk of the market. We're definitely going to get it working with Honeycomb and ICS though!
