I'm currently implementing an Android app and wanted to know if there are any library out there to create a permanent search widget on the ActionBar, like the Google Dialer one and like this picture:
Google Dialer ActionBar
I don't want to start implementing my own if there is a library out there than can do it for me.
Thanks in advance.
It seems like floatingsearchview:

I would like to implement a drop down menu from the ToolBar like in the Ios version of Google+:
But as as a beginner in android development, I don't know which component should I use, anybody can help me with that ?
Those SO question you've mentioned in the comments are true: You should not implement an exact copy of that iOS navigation in Android. If you choose to develop an app for Android then you better make it look like an Android app (because that is what your users will expect).
However, that does not imply Android lacks of similar navigation pattern. What you are looking for is ActionBar dropdown navigation and can be found on this official docs. That link should be enough to get you started. :)
I want to develop search bar like bellow image just like showing in Google search bar. How to achieve this. Please some can provide sample code or related links to achieve it.
I assume the actual question here is not how to create a widget (if it is, check the official Android documentation on widgets), but how you can enable a widget to receive text input, which, as far as i am aware, is not possible using standard widget elements.
You will probably have to try the way discussed over here - creating a transparent activity when your widget is tapped.
I would like to implement a drawer in my app, like in the hangouts app, just on the left side, but thats not the most importent, its good on the right too.
I already implemented a menu drawer, how can i make it semi closed like the picture on the link?
Or is this a new kind of drawer? Then whats its name? So i can search for some samples.

I used support.v4 library, and the actionbarsherlock. So this project is api >=10.
Thank you for your help.
It's called SlidingPaneLayout. In this week's episode of Android Design in Action, Roman Nurik also mentioned that it is used by the Hangouts app.
Watch this part of the Google I/O Session Android Design for UI Developers to see how to implement this pattern.
Not quite sure what you mean about SlidingDrawer to the left, but I'll guess that you refer to the SlidingMenu, am I correct? In that case, I've used this library successfully:
https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu
This library is also compatible with the ActionbarSherlock.
Does anyone have an idea or sample code that make the notification bar widget(at the bottom) that is the same as one in Google+ application in Android?
Thanks in advance,
Tri.
The idea is this widget is the same as notification bar of Android, instead of this is at the bottom and is in customization program (same author Google ;-) )
Below are necessary screenshot for easier.
You will be interested in using the SlidingDrawer.
Here's a great tutorial for getting started with the SlidingDrawer:

A design pattern I've noticed being used recently in some Android apps is a simple textual list menu similar to QuickActions in that it pops up in a speech-bubble-like View when summoned. The Google+ app uses it for overflow items, for example.
Does anybody know of a library that'll let me easily implement these kinds of menus in my own app or, if not, what the most straightforward way of doing it from scratch would be?
Many thanks.
It is not a standard widget, but you can use: QuickAction dialog. Or you wan't something else?
