At the top there is the favorites/styles/all channels
i don't know what that widget/control is i need to know what it is
i am certain i saw it before i just can't seem to find it again.
then there is a listview which is easy to implement no help needed there
then the same control again, i need to know how to build it.
it looks like a native Android control, i know how i can make one just like it using image buttons but i am sure i am missing something.
P.S. this is an image from sky.fm app on android
EDIT: I Do no need help with the ListView i already did that
What i do need help with is how to make the "favorites/styles/all channels" buttons if there is a way to do natively.
If there isn't a way to do natively, and you are sure just say there isn't a way to do natively ( that would be a good answer )
the perfect answer would be a working code, but i am not lazy i am already implementing the code my self
There's no native control for this. It's probably a Button or maybe ToggleButton. You could create a background xml with different states for selected true or false. And when you click the button toggle the selected state.
Top might be a custom tab layout, or just a bunch of buttons with custom styling.
Main part looks like a listview with complex row views.
Bottom almost definately is a bunch of buttons.
You can implement it using ClickableListAdapter.There is also tab implementation.try it.
Just make it using image buttons and put filters in your ListView, or create your own filter form scratch !

I'm sorry. I'm being very vague on my question, but I'm not sure what to search to accomplish the layout I want to. Here's a sketch of what I'm wanting to do:
Basically, what I'm trying to do is recreate a standard booking app, and I'd like to know how can I recreate the part showing each room. I'd like some help how to create the layout to show 1 room and how to repeat that layout multiple times.
Use ListView or RecyclerView
Here is an example

Friends,
I am trying to develop an application which requires the below UI:
I know its not a feasible thing to run a ListView with-in ListView or with-in a ScrollView. So I'll like to know that Is there any other way to do this same thing ? as the UI has to be same as its running in its LIVE iOS App.
Thanks in advance.
Solution: Thanks guys for all of your answers, but as I told that the Expandable-ListView is not the option in my condition. So I have creating a dynamic layout in Java Class file using an amount of various Layouts & Widget's Array. It took a lot of practice but it covered the necessity.

check this it will help you
You don't really describe your problem in detail but from your indication of a blue bar at the left, I suppose that you want to have some sort of a secondary ScrollView inside the primary ListView; which itself has its one scrolling view. If so, then using an ExpdandableListView will not be the solution that you want.
Android has some difficulties managing a ScrollView inside another ScrollView but if this is what you want, then take a look at: ScrollView Inside ScrollView .
Be warned that these solutions are not perfect and that probably you will never achieve the same level of control for this type of thing on Android as you can have on iOS.
I am developing an application in android. I have an Activity where I have a couple of buttons. Among them when I click on one button, I want to get dropdown like iPhone default picker.
To achieve that, I am using Android wheel concept. I have implemented like this, when I click on the button, it is calling another activity where my required custom layout is shown. Problem is custom layout should come from bottom of the screen in the same activity where the button I am clicking exists.
I have attached a screenshot. I want to achieve as shown in the screenshot (missing).
Please help me providing the required solution. Pardon me if there any mistakes in my question. This is the first time to ask a question.
Since the lack of a screenshot that helps to understand your issue, this is more some kind of guess: Are you known to the concept of Spinners in Android? They provide a dropdown mechanism and are easily implemented.
After seeing the last screenshots of new foursquare application and their balloon like cartoon instructions, I'd like to create some of these in my application.
I found a similar question for iPhone
Small popup for instructions... How?
Here is another screenshot of foursquare app:
I'd like to know how I could achieve that with Android.
Thanks in advance for any help.
UPDATE: This is what I could get so far but adding some buttons with a custom drawn background and layering them with a FrameLayout:
But I still couldn't get the triangle effect. Maybe there is something I can do with my custom background shape?
UPDATE2
After checking your suggestions, I decided to go with Aaron C idea and added an image with an arrow on it. This is my current result:
Thank you Snailer, QuickAction API project seems very much promissing. I'll check it out when implementing more features in my app.
Now, I just need to get the right color or maybe I could just let it this way. It seems nice too.
And, so, to summarize what I did:
Got my initial xml layout inside a FrameView.
As I'm using a frameview, everything I put in here will be piled one over the other. That's how I could add things to the layout.
In that framelayout, I put 2 relativelayouts whith an image with the triangle and a button to create the two upper popups. In the bottom I put a button only.
That's it. I hope it helps somebody.
Thank you very much again for all your help!
That sounds like a neat thing to implement. There might be a built-in Android variation on AlertDialog that achieves this, but if not here is how I would go about implementing it:
Create a new Activity whose background is black with a very high (low?) alpha color value. This will allow you to see through it to the previous Activity in the stack. Then, add your alert at whatever coordinates you like using a relative layout with padding values.
You might also want to add a touch listener that exits the Activity if the user touches the balloon (or maybe anywhere in the screen).
If you want to be fancy with coordinate placement of the balloon, you can pass this information into the new Activity using the Activity's launch Intent with the putExtra() methods.
It's probably achieved through skinning a toast.
The developer documentation shows a skinned toast in "Creating a custom toast view" at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
You may want to look at the QuickAction API. It acheives this by using PopupWindow, skinned, positioned, and animated.
I am currently working on an Android app, I have completed all the 'hard stuff', such as getting my database working, and so on. Now I need to make the UI look decent.
I would like to make something that has a 'frame' layout that is clickable. You would click on a 'frame' to find out more information, a bit like the Amazon app.
If anyone has any ideas, tutorials or good links, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at Gallery. It's built in to Android and does what I think you're looking for (at least, it describes the Amazon app's UI; since FrameLayout has a very explicit meaning in Android that is not at all what you're talking about, I ignored that part).
EDIT: A screenshot would have been helpful but I think you're actually talking about a simple list-like view.
Oh. That's either a ListView, or more likely just a vertical LinearLayout inside a ScrollView. I can tell you what I'd do: Each item in the LinearLayout would have a background set, with a width of match_parent and a height of wrap_content, using a 9patch with the right-pointing arrow inside it. I'd also define an identical but blue-highlighted version of the image for the pressed state and use a state drawable XML to let it know which to use. Then I'd just bind an onClick listener for each item I wanted to fire off a click action on.
