I was using the Instagram Android application. A screen shot can be found here here. If you notice the left hand corner contains a back arrow and then a divider. The name of the screen is next to it, but is not clickable. I have integrated the ActionBarSerlock in my project. How can i achieve this ?
Kind Regards

I was trying to add 5 items to the bottom navigation view , But when i add icons the view get collapse . each icon doesn't get ideal width which means the same width . please refer to the image , Any reason for this ?
Edited :- This seems like the default behaviour, If i press on something the button gets the focus
But is it possible to show it like iOS which means each tab having the same width ?
In the bottom navigation material design specs there is a section describing "fixed" vs "shifting" modes
While this doesn't appear in the official bottom navigation view documentation (ahem google), if you look at the source code you will see that there is the ability to set the "Shifting Mode" both via xml and java.
Please note that I haven't tried this and am basing it on the source code alone.
I am looking to implement a menu like used on the Android Uber app.
It seems to be like an action bar on top with 3 small settings stripes on left side. (probably not a real action bar)
When clicking in that area a black menu slides out from the left and occupies 70% of the screen.
The right side of the screen still showing the map is darkened to keep focus on the menu.
I like that style, it looks good and everyone immediately knows how to use it.
I would like to have the same but don't know where to start or if there is maybe something available that would do something similar.
The actionbar itself only offers the menu on top right which is better for pure settings.
I also experimented with a split action bar having the menu items on bottom but that also seems superior to the clean interface Uber provides.
You want the Android Navigation Drawer. It's an Android sanctioned navigation pattern and more details about it can be found here. For some more technical documentation and an example of how to use it, you can find a sample over here. It works great with the Action Bar so shouldn't need anything too custom outside of what the Android v4 compat library gives you.
I am working on an Android application and have to code up the following design for one of the screens:
(Ignore the yellow stuff, I have just masked the Logo and the App-specific information for now)
My question is: How do I design this particular type of screen? The top pane is akin to an ActionBar in Android. However, when any button on the top pane is hit, this custom "popup" having a rectangular form with a small arrow on top pointing towards the button is display and does not interrupt the current/main activity.
I have looked around, but still dont understand how to accomplish this.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
You can use the native Action Bar along with the icons.
The only problem is if you want to show them all at once.
Some icons may be hidden depending on the size of the phone.
As for the custom pop-up, the toast feature is available to do that.
It is quite easy to adjust the position of toasts and customise toasts :

So for Android's LinkedIn app, there is a navigation bar and once you click on the LinkedIn logo, a subnav will drop down. If you click the logo again it will go back up.
What is this referred to as for Android? What steps would I need to take to produce a similar effect?
I'm no so much looking for someone to do it for me, rather point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Please see this tutorial on how to create a QuickAction dialog. If you scroll down to the bottom it has more of a "menu" type action dialog.
I'd like to replicate the search bar in Contacts app > Favorites > Search (sans icon). Could someone give me a few tips?
A linear layout maybe with some top, left and bottom padding, width is fill_parent, and a weight of 1? With a button next to it with some right padding? How do I make the button look like that? Is there a parameter I can set to get the gradient background of the back? Or do I need to supply an image?
