What you are looking for, are Fragments.

Fragments can be used to fill a part of the screen, while doing something else entirely in a different one.
In your example you can create a main activity that contains two Fragments. One Fragment controls the list on the left, the other one controls the main content area for your options.
By replacing the current Fragment in your content area with a different one on the press of a button, you can achieve the behavior you are looking for.

For the options menu, it looks like a PreferenceFragment.

Sadly I can’t provide any example code right now, but here is a tutorialthat should help you get started:
