Button bar above or below android application

How could i put a Button bar at the top or bottom of my android application?

That is, in the Activities of my application I want the Button bar in all of them.

A bar with quick access Buttons (a button Home, another Exit button ... etc)

How can this be implemented?

thank you very much

What you can do is, you can create a new class for that button bar and include that UI element in all your screens. The concept is called fragment. If you change code for fragment once it will be reflected on all other screens. Here is tutorial on fragments.

Using a RelativeLayout you can place Views that are at the bottom of the parent View or the top of the parent View.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/relativelayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="left top of parent" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="right top of parent" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button3"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="left bottom of parent" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button4"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="right bottom of parent" />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
