You can use a Sliding Drawer:

Or the new 'Ribbon Menu' this has other names as well, it's the menu off the new YubTube app or the Facebook app.

You have several options here: You can create a dialog activity with a translucent background and lay it out however you'd like. Then you can just call startActivityForResult() on it.

Here's an example:
