That's called an ActionBar. If you're developing under 3.0 or higher it's standard. If you want to support earlier versious, you can check Greendroid or ActionBar Sherlock libraries ;-)
This is an ActionBar if I am not wrong, you can use ActionBarSherlock for your app it's located here

Any Help in any form appreciated , There is no similar Github lib or helper code at net/SO , so i can't figure out how i should get started
You will need to use a TabLayout along with a ViewPager. These are standard controls. Google it or see here for an example of how to use it. ActionBarSherlock isn't used anymore. Instead we use a Toolbar.

Check out TabActivity. Or this is what you need to go through http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/tabs.html
For adding menu for an tab you can use ActionBar instead of TabActivity. This will give you an option to add Spinner to the Tab. http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/actionbar.html
But actionBar is available for API level 11 and above.
Any idea how to implement tabs like these (the one on top with home image, star, etc)
Using tabs in an action bar on Ice Cream Sandwich.
Or ActionBarSherlock tabs for a full on backward compatibility.
Those are so-called "swipey tabs", probably on top of a ViewPager. ViewPagerIndicator has an implementation of such tabs.
if you wish to use the same tabs-pager like on the android market app (aka google play) , you can get the android support library from the sdk manager and see their sample on ".../extras/android/support/samples/Support4Demos" .
there , find the fragment example called "tabs and pager" . i think you will like it ... :)
Try this. The solution there is to use the setDividerDrawable(...) method of the TabWidget class. Then you can define the looks of the tabs with XML.
I've just met some troubles in Android 4.0.3 with menu because it displays menu item in a list. But I can't a way to set it displaying in a grid-like layout.
Appreciate help.
My friend, I found the main reason why you couldn't display option menu as grid-style in Android 4.0.3.
Because you used #android:style/Theme.Holo for your application.
Menu of Theme.Holo was set for displaying in list-style.
The solutions are:
1, Try to use another theme such as #android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar instead of #android:style/Theme.Holo.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar
2, Or if you still want to use Theme.Holo, so try to create a style for menu in values/style.xml. References: see styles in Android Framework. (Sr, I don't have Android framework here, so I can't show you what to do exactly now)
Hope this help!
