Navigation bar similar to LinkedIn on Android - android

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.

Android - Slide Menu like in Uber

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.

How do I implement a slide-out menu pane similar to Google Maps and Twitter?

I am looking to implement something similar to the slide-out pane shown in Google Maps and also in Twitter(Click the settings button after performing a search).
The pane displays itself at the bottom and the user can either click on it or swipe upwards to reveal more information.
I want to implement something similar but I am not sure how to proceed. I have a simple ListView and when a user clicks an item, the slide-out pane should appear. How would I go about doing this?
I was thinking of using a context menu but according to the official docs, icons are not allowed to be placed there.
Check out AndroidSlidingUpPanel. It should be perfect for your needs. It can be also achieved using SlidingDrawer.
You can use a navigation drawer to make a slider menu.
You can see a good example here:

Facebook Slide menu-slide to right in android?

I used maddeye slide menu library to implement a Facebook like slide bar. It works fine, sliding from right to left.
Now what I want is to slide from left to right as the new Facebook app in Android.
What modification should I use to make this change? Does anyone know how to slide both sides as the new Facebook app?
I would try the android-menudrawer project at https://github.com/SimonVT/android-menudrawer which just hit 1.0.0 thanks to Jake Wharton.
I tried it out yesterday and it looks like it fits your needs.
If you build and install the sample APK, you'll see an example called "Right menu" which is what I think you're looking for. The other examples are variations of the normal sliding menu.
Here are screenshots of this sample APK (MenuDrawerSamples) in action. The first screenshot shows the Right Menu example with the menu drawer closed. Tap on the overflow menu item in the upper right corner and then it reveals the menu, as shown in the second screenshot. You could trigger it instead from another action bar button or other button if desired.

Google+ Style View/Fragment Animation?

I've been looking for examples on how to animate two views (or fragments) left and right as is done in the Android Google+ app. I have not been successful.
I would like to be able to slide in - left to right - a fragment over another one, at command, and as a reaction to the user swiping the screen. The animation should follow the user's finger across the screen, allowing them to pause in the middle of the animation etc.
Does anyone know where to start on this sort of layout animation? Tips on how Google+ does it? I'd like any information we can dig up! I've been quite unsuccessful =\
This is the best resource about the side menu, there is no code but a clear explanation on how to implement it:
Fly-in app menu
and this is a post on how to animate the action bar related to the side menu:
Slide action bar
Hope it will help.
Here is an implementation of the effect by Simon based on Cyril Mottier's Fly-in app menu. - Menu Drawer

Google Docs Android app navigation top bar

Anyone has an idea of what controls does Google use on its Google Docs App top bar? I'm referring to the scrollable one with the Starred/All Items/Owned by me/Home labels that appears after you select an item on the home screen.
Thanks
This should be the ViewPager. You can find a good example of the ViewPager here.
