Android menu group as a dialog - android

There is an official guide about different menu types in Android.
In the menu group section, there is an illustration of the menu group, but it looks like an AlertDialog, which cannot inflate from the menu.xml file (AFAIK).
Can anyone advise how can I achieve the result from the picture?

Is it possible to have multiple views in a menu item?

I'm trying to do something like the mockup I drew below. I have menu items but on each I want one image view and one text view. All I'm seeing is title and icon attributes in the menu items which don't do the job.
If you want to use the standard Android widgets (Menu, MenuItem, etc), then no, this is not possible.
However, you could create your own floating view that looked just like a standard Android menu, and then do whatever you want.

Android: Create a Quick Action Menu

I need to create some type of quick action menu that appears to the right side of the clicked item (button) whenever the user clicks the button.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
When the user clicks button1 I want the "sub quick action menu" to appear like it's shown in the image above.
Is there anyway to do this 'natively' in android?
I have found this plugin but it only allows you to show the menu from the top or bottom of the button.

As tyczj said, you could achieve that with a PopupMenu. The idea is that the popup menu will inflate a custom view with all the elements, having as background a 9 patch image.
Here's a blog post that shows how to do that. Hope it will help you.
You can do the same using Quick Action Menu, for more details you can follow the
"http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/521455/Quick-action-pattern-in-Android-and-simple-impleme"
Link.
In example Items are presented in horizontal manner, whereas you can manage them, like listview as per your requirement.
there is a PopupMenu but there is no arrow or anything pointing to where it came from. Its basically the same thing that comes up when clicking the Overflow actionbar item
Maybe this link can help you ;) But instead of sliding use press button.

Alternative to Android Action Bar using buttons or radio group

I would like to create an simple menu type Action Bar along the top. I like using buttons, but need the color or image to change and hold when on selected link. Or else, could a radio button be used as an alternative to Action Bar? I would like it to look like the menu tabs on this screenshot link: view link hereThank you!

How to create a custom Pulldown in the Honeycomb ActionBar?

I would like to add a custom pulldown menu to the actionbar in my project similar to the one that can be found in the google books app (screen).
In this case it represents the complete table of contents of the book.
I tried to follow the guide from the developer site where there is an example with a SpinnerAdapter. But when i use a custom Layout (in my case a RelativeLayout with two TextViews in it) i get an Exception that saying "ArrayAdapter requires the resource ID to be a TextView". So i dismissed my idea with the pulldown but then i found the pulldown in the books app wich looks to me like they used a custom layout as well because it looks to me like two single TextViews in one Layout.
Could anybody please enlighten me if what i want to do is even possible and how?
To me, that looks like the options menu -- that's where options menu items not promoted to the action bar itself appear. Use onCreateOptionsMenu() and add whatever items you want to the Menu.
EDIT:
Sorry, the screenshot was a bit confusing. There are two possibilities that I can see:
This could be a submenu for that action bar item -- I haven't played with submenus and the action bar yet (though this reminds me that I need to do that...)
This could be a PopupMenu tied to a custom action bar View
