What is this Android Widget called?

Question

I'm sorry for such a silly question, but I can not fathom the name of this component and no amount of googling is yielding results. It's like a dialog window in a chat that holds views. I believe it's a standard UI component (possible in a later version of android).

That is a custom component specific to the search app.

The only API which is similar would be the QuickContact class. It provides a similar contextual popup for actions related to a contact (e.g., call, SMS, email, etc.).

You can use third-party libraries such as GreenDroid for similar functionality.
