Free42 Update 2.0.22a

[Thomas Okken]

Google Play requires that apps "target" Android 8 or later now (API level 26). It turns out that doing so causes surprising changes in behavior, and it looks like this may take a few more iterations to sort out... The first problem I noticed was that the overflow menu (the menu you see when you select "More" from the main menu) had turned all black on my Moto G5. Release 2.0.22a fixes that by forcing the background of that menu to white, so you can see the black text, but of course if the text is white, that doesn't have the desired effect. It looks like I'll have to hard-code the text color as well, all the while wondering why on Earth Android 8 uses black-on-black as the default color scheme for the overflow menu... What other weirdness was previously hidden by the compatibility modes triggered by targeting Android 2.2?

Gerald H, jch: what does the menu look like on your devices? All black, all white, or something else? And what about the main menu, is it white-on-black or something else? And finally, which version of Android do you use? Hopefully I'll be able to reproduce this by using a matching Android emulator, rather than having to debug this without being able to see what's going on.

SammysHP, which OFF did you try, XEQ "OFF" or Shift-EXIT? Turning the phone to off / standby is not supposed to clear flag 44, but using one of the HP-42S ways of turning off really should clear flag 44.
