hide menu and search button from kindle fire

Question

Is there any way to hide menu and search buttons from Kindle Fire? This (Kindle Fire Customize Soft Key menu) says there's no way to do that, but i hope something has changed since then.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The overflow menu is automatic and controlled by the OS (similar to the Action menu on devices based on the default Android experience). The search icon is fixed and will either take the user to the platform search or you can override it following the instructions here.

You may also be able to achieve the effect you are looking for with one of the Full Screen Modes available to Kindle developers.

Do you have a sample of the code that is failing to hide the overflow menu appropriately?
