I was ALMOST so excited.
I discovered the dropdown button! I almost love it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on a mobile device. Which makes it rather useless.
Am I missing something? I looked around on the Internet and couldn't find any reference to the fact that they don't work - or do work on mobile devices. I'm testing mine on an Android. I can tap it - and nothing happens.

Here it's been discussed:

In that post they suggest using hide/show but that doesn't hold much of a "cool" factor. I've used a grp of buttons then moved them up and down (err if the main button is at the top/bottm of the screen). Well I guess even if the btn was in the middle of the screen I'd just draw a rect to cover it.

Re: option dropdown and mobile devices
On mobile, option buttons are typically replaced with the mobilePick command, which puts up a native picker according to platform specs. Mobile devices don't use desktop-style option buttons.
