What controls should I use for this android UI?

I'm developing an android application, one page is like this:

enter image description here

You can see on the top of right part, there is a "settings" button. When clicking it, there will be a panel come out from the left.

I'm new to android, and I don't know what components shall I use.

You can use SlidingDrawer as below:

<SlidingDrawer
    android:id="@+id/my_sliding_drawer"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_margin="0dp"
    android:content="@+id/content"
    android:handle="@+id/handle" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/handle">
        <!-- Your handle content comes here. -->
    </ImageButton>    

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/content">
        <!-- Your drawer contents come here. -->
    </LinearLayout>

</SlidingDrawer>
