i asked so many question regarding my title but i could not get my proper answer till yet.I need to implement androd's menu feature in my application ie when we goes to gallery in android phone, when we press menu than it comes with lots of option like share...etc.My question is can i implement same menu feature in my application? It is possible or not?
Thanks
To implement a "Share" feature, all you need to do is use createChooser() and an ACTION_SEND Intent.
Here is a blog post covering the technique.
If I am understanding your question you want to know if you can duplicate the feature of tapping on the menu button on the phone and having it pull up an options menu that you can then share via, gmail or some other posting medium?
If this is correct then I would have to say I would assume that you could duplicate this feature.
In short YES!
If you are wondering how you are to do this then I would start at here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html
Droidnova .com (I posted it like this because as a new user I can only post one link) also has a good little how to on menu's.
I would also like to add that this is my first time posting on stackoverflow so please let me know if this was a good post or what I should do next time.
Thanks,
Bactos

I've googled and searched for an answer to my question but all I can find is people asking about rating systems that pop up a dialogue after a number of launches.
My application is for a live wallpaper so I expect most people to launch and set it once.
I just want a preference button that takes users as directly as possible to the app rating screen.
Can anyone suggest the best way to accomplish this? Thank you!
Here is code you are looking for

Add this library in your project and you should be set.
I´m looking a way to add my app in select an action menu that appears when one user wants to add one picture in another app (i.e chats apps).
So, when the user selects that option, android lists the apps like camera, gallery, and others.
Well, i want to appear in that menu. i know it is possible (intents, intents filters ?), but I couldn`t get the answer :(.
thanks, and sorry for my baad-bad english :$
Adding yourself to the menu can be done as outlined in this question. Actually providing a response can be done as seen here.
I am interested in doing my application similar to the contact apps where on click on the image pops up a small quick action menu(Not sure of the name). In that you get option to call them, email them or do similar activity. I too have a list view with a image in it. On click of the image I want to show a similar small action bar that will give quick links to users to navigate to my next activity. Please let me know how to do this. A quick sample will be good. Thank you for your time and help.
IMO GreenDroid is a full-featured UI framework, but if you just want the QuickAction in your apps, you can use this http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-quickaction-dialog-in-android/
Just feel this way is simpler :D
The GreenDroid QuickAction is what you are looking for I think https://github.com/cyrilmottier/GreenDroid
I am making an Android app and one of the activities in the app is a List Activity. I want the ListView to have the slide out options menu for the list items like you often see in apps like twitter:
I thought I read a while back that Android had a feature like this included in the sdk, but I can't seem to find any documentation or tutorials on it. Part of my problem is that I don't know exactly what the feature is called. I have done quite a bit of searching, but I haven't come up with anything useful. I am hoping that someone with a bit of Android development experience has seen this before and could recommend a resource or two.
Thanks!
This question has been asked before. They're called quick actions.
I would like to put fairly extensive help information within my app - both "how to use" and explanation of what one is seeing.
The app (map oriented) has a row of buttons at the bottom, and I was considering adding a help button.
Context sensitive help is mostly not appropriate, btw.
What are common and best practices for this?
Thanks
I wouldn't suggest using a help button, once the user knows how to use your app it will be useless, and will only takes some space.
What I do (but it's maybe not the best practice) is to show a popup on the first use. Within the popup I put some basic help and a link to my website which fully explains how my app works (with some screenshots to make it user-friendly). I also put a "Help" button in the activity menu which redirects to my website again.
What I can suggest is to explore by yourself how other android apps shows the help information, and reuse or adapt the one you prefer (this is what I've done).
I have put help into a menu item as I expect new users to click the menu button anyway (my app, Zwitscher also has a button bar at the bottom).
Clicking the menu item then starts an Activity that simply shows a table view that explains the various buttons in the system and contains a link to more information online.
See https://github.com/pilhuhn/ZwitscherA/blob/master/src/de/bsd/zwitscher/HelpActivity.java and
https://github.com/pilhuhn/ZwitscherA/blob/master/res/layout/help.xml
Another option I've seen sometimes is including a help option in the preferences/configuration screen.
Usually it starts a new activity with a sequence of steps to make the user understand everything.
