I'm new in this android world...I would like to have this menu (I don't think if I can call it like that):
Image:
It has "Speed Dial", "Recents", etc. When one of them is selected, it got a border-bottom. What is the easiest way to get this system?

- The menu bar is called ActionBar and you have to custom make it. (Google it).(It's like normal layout! Just horizontal ALWAYS, instead of vertical)
- The layout is called Tab Layout. It's pretty messy and easy at the same time depending on how you write codes!
When the user hit the keypad button at the bottom, the menu bar/action-bar disappear. use the following code to achieve that
getActionbar().hide(); getActionbar().show();
The following tutorials would be helpful

Cheers! Happy Coding!
