how can i achieve the first image?

EDIT: I found out it is actually a device default theme

Solution

  • I think to get the first view, you need to use MasterDetail View. Left fragment is a List View (Categories) and the right view a Detailed view is again ListView with category detail items.

    Check the MasterDetailView example at http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/fragment-ui.html.

    I am not sure the Preferences API supports this directly.
