How to make pop up screen without images in android?

Can you please tell me how to make this type of pop up? I do not need to design own component in drawable. I don't have much knowledge in Android.
1) First there is Title with blue background .
2) Second there is scrolling list view (without image) and buy button (without image).
Is it possible?
I Googled it to find out if we can make own button like that with some style?
Here is my image

You have to use a Dialog/Pop up in combination with a ListView you have to google that up because its a complex theme.
good look

Start from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html. You have to implement your own custom dialog layout, likely using a ListView (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/listview.html).

Remove fade animation from toast message

I am using a hack to display an overlay over a picture in Google TV using a constant toast message.
I would like to know if there is a way to further modify the toast to remove the fade in and fade out effect. Ideally I would like the overlay to appear instantly.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

For this , i suggest we can use a layout(FrameLayout).
and by using a new layout above your current layout and adding view that looks similar to TOAST to the top layer
After that do one thing by making object of View as v
eg:-
View v;
v.setVisiblity(GONE);
v.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
This will make your view appear or hide.

You can use a FrameLayout and create a new Layout layer above your current layout and add a view that looks like toast to the top layer.
Then you can use: View.setVisiblity(GONE); and View.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
to make your view appear and hide instantly.

FrameLayout example

I like a fade-in effect, but I was in need to cancel a toast message immediately without fade-out effect, since the toast message remained shown for a short moment even when the Activity was already exited.
I came to this solution to close (or actually hide) my toast message t immediately:
((TextView)t.getView().findViewById(android.R.id.message)).setTextColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
t.setText("");
t.getView().setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
t.cancel();
I assume to set colors transparent is the only way to hide the fade effect with standard Toast layout.

Popup window using Fragment

I want to create a pop-up window (with black transparent background around it) that would appear above the application activity screen (by clicking on a button). This pop-up would contain a video player, a list of videos to be played and some other elements.
This pop-up has to be a fragment since I need to re-use it from other app fragments.
So my question is : what is the best way to achieve that? I personally see 2 options :
1) adding the pop-up as a fragment on the layout and to show + activate it whenever I need. But in that case, how can I put a black transparent background around it that would fill the whole screen?
2) using DialogFragment but it seems that this class is not very well-designed for this kind of stuff.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

DialogFragments are the suggested way to launch Dialog views from within a Fragment, so this is the solution I would suggest for you.
You can do pretty much anything you need within the DialogFragment. You will be in full control of the UI using this method.
Here is a SO discussion of the same point, with good info: Android DialogFragment vs Dialog

Android - popup window or something else

I am currently developing an android app that displays a list view. When an item from the list view is selected I would like a small window to appear from the bottom of the screen. This window will not cover the entire list view, but take up a small portion of the bottom. On this window will be a few buttons and a progress bar.
My question is would the best way to achieve this be through a popupwindow or is there something else to better suit this?
Thank you for your help.

you could use a Dialog with a custom View (Android Custom Dialog example). Or you can forgo the concept of the pop-up and just "fake it" by adding your "pop-up" View into your normal layout but setting it as invisible. Then when you want to show it make it Visible and populate it with the appropriate data.

I think I understood what you meant. Do you use ActionBarSherkock? If yes, then there is a splitactionbar which is ususally located on the bottom of the screen, when the screen is small. It looks like this:

Is this what you meant? Let me please know.
Edit:
There is something called quick actions. This handels popups very well, but its not displayed on the bottom of the screen tough. But you might want to look at it:

android game pause screen , dialog or activity dialog?

I am a little confused about the best way to show pause screen on my android game. will it be better to be a pauseMenuActivity or is it enough with just pauseDialog? this pause dialog will just show score, money, back button, option button , and quit button. if it is better to show dialog, I don't know how to show those buttons and background image.. anyone can help me? thank you

I would recommend going for a Dialog (or some other custom overlay). From my experience, inter-Activities transitions aren't always very quick and they can feel kind of sluggish in the context of a game. In my opinion, when I am on a pause screen and want to start playing again, it should be instantaneous.
Plus, an Activity is kind of overkill if you just want to show 4 buttons.
To create a custom dialog containing a custom layout, have a look at the following tutorial and post again if you have specific questions/problems :
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog

An Activity in general is better than a dialog, because u can take care of all things like orientation, theme etc. and it provides more flexibility. Though in simple cases u can use a dialog.
