I wanted to achieve the same sort of functionality found in Google Now where you can tap the cards overflow icon and a menu appears next to it with options (shown here).
Does anyone know how to implement this sort thing to achieve the same style etc?
I think you can do this by placing a listview under your button, and set its visibility to invisible.
Then place an onclicklistener on your button to turn your visibility to visible.

In my android studio, I am creating animated floating button, in which on click it expands to multiple floating button again on click it collapse. "https://www.sitepoint.com/animating-android-floating-action-button/"
The part where I need help is if the buttons are expanded and the user instead of collapsing the button its touches another part of the screen or clicks something else then I can detect and collapse it programmatically.
What method should i use to do this?
You can use third-party library to save your time. I recommend this one

I am working on a simple application that is supposed to work on 800x480 tablet. Currently:
[][][][]
[][][][]

These are all buttons and they are working as expected. I, however, need to add menu items to the bottom-buttons. When clicked, menu items should pop up.
-Can I create a menu and place it at the bottom of the screen to replace those buttons? If so, could you show an example, cause I couldn't find any.
-Or, can I add menu items to these buttons?
What You want is an OptionsMenu, if I understand You the right way. I could give You an example later, I am not at home. But for now, look at this example. If You follow this, You don´t need those buttons at the bottom.

if it is not clear, just let me know and I try to give You an example at the evening...
EDIT
for custom menu, You could use PopUpMenu. I had not tried this for now, but I think it is a good solution

Is it possible to create a menu in android that shows when someone for example touches a graph and It brings more options. I want a menu that will appear from above and below like how the menu used to be in android when you touch the menu button. Now without the button i would like the user to touch a chart or a table and two menus appear from above and below or even sides. Any suggestions will highly be appreciated
Suggestion:
Make the layout of menu you would like to show, and include it in the layout of your activity.
By default set it to be GONE, this will hide it.
Then set a touch listener for your graph, and change the visibility of menu to VISIBLE to show it.
I think what u need is a context menu; see this example Hope this helps :) cheers :)
I have a bar in my app with 2 buttons side by side. One button represents the page the user is currently on and the other redirects the user to another page with the same button bar. What I want is for the button that represents the page the user is currently on to look like it is pressed (i.e. the color it would be if it is pressed). I already have it set so it can't be clicked. Is there a setting or attribute or do I HAVE to create my own selector (because I don't really understand how to implement that)?
Have never tried this but
button.setPressed(true)
should work.
Edit: You can also add
button.setClickable(false)
Edit: This does work but the order is important. Use this
btn.setClickable(false);
btn.setPressed(true);
I would like to have an EditText with one modification: on the right but still inside the EditText there should an arrow pointing downwards that I can set OnClickListener to so that when the user clicks on the arrow it displays a menu.
What is the best way to do this?
Do you mean something like this ?
see image
Add the arrow by setting the drawable right attribute
android:drawableRight="#drawable/right"
to your EditText. Then you would need to set an OnTouchListener to get the events.
I did this by putting EditText and a Button into RelativeLayout, the Button (which has custom background drawable) is overlapping the EditBox.
When user clicks on it, the EditBox doesn't receive the click event.
Sounds like a combo box. If you look at the "Building Custom Components" section of the Dev Guide, they mention combo box briefly, but give details on how to build any custom component.
