I'm really new to Android development. I have no idea what search keyword should I use for this.
Is it possible to create something like this in Android?
What component should I use for the window and also the text?
Thank you very much!
You could re-style an AlertDialog for the window (see the guide). Text is normally shown in a TextView.
For setting the TextView to multi-line, there is the android:inputType-attribute.

It's very simple. I assume you are new to android. But this type of View you can make just by Dialog or Menu View and also there are other way also to make it. but for you I suggest you use Dialog.
I need to customize my Android application for ancient people, which typically have vision problems.
If is not so difficult increase the font size of EditText or TextView fields, I can't say the same about the TimePicker , DatePicker or NumberPicker. For these widget I think that I can't change the size. Right?
Someone knows how can I solve this problem? I need to create a custom plugin? If so, where I can found materials for this purpose?
What you want is call "Custom Widget" or "Custom View"

Could anyone tell me either what this widget is or how it could be recreated? I'm having to port over a iPhone app, and my boss wants me to make it look as similar as possible, but while using android controls. Here is a picture of it in Android:

It is not a standard thing, but for this purpose, there is a: QuickAction dialog.
this can be done with a PopupWindow (it can also be shown as dropdown) where the background is a custom nine-patch file and the content is a listview (or any other view that fits your needs).
I'm sure that GreenDroid Library can do this but I don't know the name of the class to use

A floating window in Android is, generally, a Dialog or Dialog sub-class. You can also style a standard activity to look like a dialog using themes. Please refer to the official android documentation here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
I'm not sure what you are talking about. If you are talking about Alerts/Dialogs refer this link on how to do alert boxes (which is again kinda floating on top of the activity )
