I have been having a blast with GLBasic and have answered dozens of my own questions thanks to this great community. Now I have my first question :-[ . When I test my code on my HTC EVO 4G LTE running Android 4.0 it always has the soft menu, the black area with three dots. I want it gone. Does anyone know how to do this. Thanks in advance for your time :)

I don't think you can, it can me reduced to 3 dots but that's it. This is not the fault of GLBasic as it's a restriction of the Android O.S.
That's odd because I have half a dozen games that don't have it show up. I looked in all the documentation for the xml file and couldn't find anything there. Thanks though. :)

Do you have a screenshot ? I don't get anything like that, is it on the HTC only ?
I will have to get a screen when I get home.. I have only tested on the HTC. A side note, I have no hardware menu button. I tried the full screen setting and it didn't work. (To be continued...)

poor old GLBasic gets blamed for everything :)

@okee The link you provided was informative unfortunately i don't want users to have to Rom/root there phone.
Fortunatly i found the solutions and it was an over site on my part when it came to the AndroidManifest.xml
The line:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
Needs to be:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="14" />
This will remove the 3 dot soft menu.
Thanks for all the help everyone :)

Well done finding that one, I just notice that VLC Beta on android removes the bar too. Not so sure this would work below ICS though?
Ace find. Please check if it works on 2.2 or 2.3 still. I think it should.
Sorry for the late response. Been moving :S When I get a chance I will charge my old Droid X and see if I can get it to work. I believe it is 2.3.
