UIPopoverViewController-like element in Android

Question

I am now porting a iPad application to Android tablets, and it uses a lot of UIPopoverViewController. I have tried creating a "layout" to show in fullscreen at front with a small content view, it works well, but I was wondering if there is a native element for this kind of functionality. Thanks for your time.

Since not everybody helping Android developers has any clue what a "UIPopoverViewController" is, perhaps you might consider posting a screenshot somewhere of the effect you are trying to achieve. — CommonsWare, Jun 15 '12 at 12:58

To help with this issue I have created a component that acts like a popover view. Be sure to check it out :)

I think you are asking for QuickActionController in Android. And I don't think there is a native element available in Android. But still the examples below make use of a pop up dialog with some animations to make it look like popoverviewController, Here is a example to start with,

Oops.. Sorry I didn't know that. I don't think there is a native component available as of now. – Andro Selva Jun 16 '12 at 12:30
