Answer 1

Take a look here: https://github.com/vikramkakkar/DeckView There is also an example here. You can also find about RecentsView here:

https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/59701b9ba5c453e327bc0e6873a9f6ff87a10391/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/recents/views/RecentsView.java

Answer 2

I have never done this, but I can point you in the right direction to use StackView. It was added in API level 11 (Android 3.0)

I have found some examples

• http://www.broculos.net/2011/12/android-101-how-to-create-stackview.html
• http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2078060&seqNum=3
• http://www.thaicreate.com/mobile/android-stackview.html

Also this library looks decent
