You can use a Sliding Drawer:

enter image description here

Or the new 'Ribbon Menu' this has other names as well, it's the menu off the new YubTube app or the Facebook app.

You have several options here: You can create a dialog activity with a translucent background and lay it out however you'd like. Then you can just call startActivityForResult() on it.

Here's an example:
