Need help in list view in android

Question

I am new bea to android and want to open a list view/menu (see image:2) after click on image/button (see image:1). I am not sure whether it is list or dialog or some other component. Please help me out.

Answer 1

That is Drop-Down navigation for the ActionBar, you can check official documentation for the same: Adding Drop-down Navigation.

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
actionBar.setListNavigationCallbacks(mSpinnerAdapter, mNavigationCallback);
// It takes your SpinnerAdapter and ActionBar.OnNavigationListener.

Check Examples:

1. Adding Drop down navigation to action bar in Android
2. Adapter part 1 on Styling Android

Update:

To provide app compatibility for the lower Android version, I would suggest you to include actionbarsherlock library, once you will download it, you will be able to access many samples too.

Answer 3

It is a Spinner in Android. Please check below link

If you want to implement behavior like GMail, then you need to override getView method of your Spinner Adapter
