android: what's this slider bar called and how to implement it?

Question

This may be a dumb question but could anyone please tell me what this slider (highlighted in yellow) called in Android? Is it a navigation bar? enter image description here

I want to implement the same slider in my app, could anyone please let me know if there's any sample I can refer to?

Thanks.

As for the part you highlighted, it doesn't have any particular name, it's just some view with selector background.

As for the mechanism itself (pulling view to reveal another), it is SlidingDrawer. Note that it has been deprecated in API 17, probably this UI pattern is not encouraged anymore.
