Are some standard Android APIs for that purpose?
If no, can I use custom Alert Dialog?

I'm currently developing an Android app for a client. Problem is their mockup screens contained a UI view that I'm unfamiliar with. In short, I'm not sure what approach/implementation to use.
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
The user taps on SALES TOOLS, and a popup of some sort appears with options leading to other features of the app.
Any suggestions on what implementation I can use?

I want to achieve this layout style in ViewPager:
I understand it's easy to implement using ViewPagerIndicator(http://viewpagerindicator.com/), but I want to avoid using external libraries in my project
I've read documentation: http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/tabs.html but I can't find out how to set the style of the Tabs to the one that I'm showing you in screenshot. However, this is implemented in Android Settings - Applications, so I guess it's somehow easy to implement with SDK code.
Any tips?
Thanks!
With help from MuhammadA, I figured out how to do it:
Browse sourcecode from this example in Google Documentation: http://developer.android.com/shareables/training/EffectiveNavigation.zip
Check code from Activity: CollectionDemoActivity
Seems easy to implement!

I want to add Pattern 6: QuickActions from android's blog to my app.
Any code snippet?
Anyone try to do it already?
Should this work on android 1.5?
I just found this question right after I posted my own question/answer. Here's the code I developed for this. http://code.google.com/p/simple-quickactions/
I also have been searching for this and found someone through the wave of the Google IO session who has implemented such thing.
He posted the code on GitHub. I just tested it, and it works just great!
You'll also need some ressources from the project (drawables, styles..).
Look at line 1310 of ContactsListActivity.java from the Contacts application. It's the code that creates the intent for the contact shortcuts on the home screen that launch the quick actions intent for a contact.
This won't work before eclair.
Until the official Twitter app is open sourced by Google, you may want to take a look at this implementation:
It's really easy to use and works great.
That app is going to be open sourced at some point so you may want to wait until then. But it could be done with a Dialog with a custom background drawable, and using Window.LayoutParams to position the dialog.
