I was trying to figure out how to create this style used in Google Now, how the "Settings" appears to be a Spinner drop-down box but does not use the typical Spinner design:

Thanks!

How to Create QuickAction Dialog in Android
Quick Actions Android
This is Quick Action 3d. Checkout source and example from here :)
This is not exactly a custom dialog. But, yes it is still a customized view. And it is more or less called Quick Action Dialog in android. I would suggest you to follow the tutorials below for generating an exactly same popover (or even better) with Android. Check the screenshot also.

I've seen some examples where there are just buttons, and no text (like QuickActionView), but none like this. If someone could direct me to some open source code, that'd be great, or point me in the correct direction.
Thank You in advance.
Android's ActionBar does exactly this. Unfortunately, it is only available for 3.0 and up. However, you could use ActionBarSherlock.
