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?

Check this tutorial and see the implemented code of that app in this git repo.

Basically, I want to make sure my UI elements (TextViews, Buttons, etc) are left aligned with the ActionBar logo. My idea was to try to find out the left spacing between the edge of the screen and the left side of the logo (shown highlighted in blue in the attached image), and use this value as the left margin for the UI elements in my Activity, but I've been unable to get this value.
So, how can I get the value of this margin? Or, is there a better way of accomplishing this?
Thanks.
Just use the standards for defining paddings as described in the Android Design documents on d.android.com. This page gives a good example of how your layout must be structured in terms of paddings between elements.
You check these answers . Custom layout for the action bar worked for me to change this padding and you can also get padding value.

I'm making use of Siyamed's menu item in my app.. I would like to place the menu item in the bottom center of the screen.. and when I click on it, the child items should surround the center icon. Any ideas on how to start?
I recommend you tried another implementation: ArcMenu by daCapricorn.
As the author said on Google+:
If you want to put it align the screen bottom, you can set alignparentbottom="true" in xml and compute the marginBottom (it should be negative) programmatically.
PS: I personnality ended up using ArcMenu library rather than SatelliteMenu for the same issue.
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 know how to make the gradient and the logo. But I don`t know how to add all that different borders and how to add the refresh icon (that also has some custom border around it).
Instagram Action Bar:
How is that possible?
You can do it by using a horizontal LinearLayout with 2 children, the left hand column with the logo and the right hand column with the refresh button. You can create a background drawable using the Shape XML:

I'd look at the provided ActionBar and ActionBarCompat. It has hooks for producing basic, as well as complex action bars.
I want to create a horizontal slider bar which slides right and left according to the corresponding button click. I have attached image below for reference.....
I want to create the thing which is encircled in blue area. I which the right arrow shows, used to slide the bar in right side with different items and information shows below according to selected item on the horizontal bar. I have searched enough on web but nothing finds as similar as above. Please suggest me for the right solution regarding the same.
Thanks in advance.
You can use the Gallery View instead of Horizontal Scroll View check the example :
If it's just slider bar, I suppose, you can use Gallery widget.
