What Pull to Refresh view is this? - java

I am wanting to implement Pull To Refresh in my application, but I was wanting to find something else other than using the Actionbar Pull to Refresh Design. I found a couple of apps (Umano / Reddit is Fun) that implement this circular overlay Pull to refresh style and I was wondering if anyone knows what library they are using? I just assumed it was a library because they are basically the same in terms of animation and flow. Its a circle that overlays the listview. Anyone know by chance?
Some screenshots for reference:

This is the SwipeRefreshLayout, someone asked a very similar question here here: Android Lollipop - Pull to refresh
That should solve your problem

How to show Driving/Cycling/Walking options in Android?
I know setting the profile will change the way directions are shown but I want to provide to the user direction options in the UI. Is it possible in Android like the picture below?
Directions options
It seems according to this question Unable to hide profile ui (Traffic, Driving, Walking, Cycling) that should be a profile switcher in controls. But I didn't find it in Android.
Thank you,
Hey thanks for checking out the Mapbox SDKs! Unfortunately, we don't have a pre-built Android UI for selecting direction options like the picture you linked - you would need to build your own UI in your app code. Sorry for the inconvenience

How to add a calender view to android app and populate it with events?

I am new to android and trying to make a android to learn different features and functions. I wanted to make a app which has a CalendarView and a list view which allows users to add their events and it'll show up on the calendar in the ListView. I do not where and or how to begin, I tried searching for tutorials on the youtube but could not find anything relevant, maybe I am searching for the wrong things. Could someone please guide me as to where I can look and whether they know tutorials I can look at, all I need for know is something pretty simple (well, I say simple.. but it seems very complicated!), a app which has a calendar and a ListView, when user adds events they show up on both.
I hope I am making sense of myself as I am pretty lost and that someone could point me to the right directions (hopefully a tutorial or something). The thought of it seemed easier but when I sat down to do it, I literally don't know where to begin.
Here is a Link to a stackoverflow question about costum calender views Custom Android calendarView
You can use some project from github for example this one https://github.com/SundeepK/CompactCalendarView by this project you can populate calendar with events

Android Dev UI - Text and image widget

Hi I am new to Android development and I want to add a specific looking view in the my main app window, which I have seen in many apps but dont actually know the name of it :) So its hard for me to check the android developers websites for details.
Below is a good example of an app using this widget or whatever is check the link:

Look at the ones that have Squat etc in thats Im referring to. Im not wanting to build a workout app, but I want to use a similar floating area like this, as I like the look. So the question is what is this called in android, its not a listview or textview I believe.
Sorry for the noob question but as I said Im very VERY green at Android dev.
Thanks
The view used here are
CardView - Check
Recyclerview -Check
Viewpager with fragments -Check
Toolbar- Check

How to make an Android application to run some UI element above other application?

Sorry if the title is it's not self explanatory.
I'm trying to make an application that can interact with other ones by adding them a graphic element in their UI.
Just like Google does with Google Translate new function.
You can see a graphic example here: EXAMPLE GIVEN
My questions are:
Is that even possible? (I guess it is)
Where can I start searching about this? I haven't seen anything in Androids Developer documentation. I really don't know how to search info about this.
Thank you all.
If you'd like to add a graphic element to your app, I suggest using the Toolbar widget (it's automatically added with the Basic Activity template). There's also the ActionBar, but I think the toolbar is preferred to use (newer).
You can get a better idea about it here.
https://blog.xamarin.com/android-tips-hello-toolbar-goodbye-action-bar/
http://www.101apps.co.za/index.php/articles/using-toolbars-in-your-apps.html/
As far as the behavior of the icons, you'll have to add your own logic to them. Intents (implicit/explicit) are one way to interact with other things.
I hope this helps push you in the right direction.
