I was wondering how you can create buttons like the ones at the bottom of the screen and the home button at the top?

Quite hard to understand if you have doubts about button design and states or button position. If it's a design issue, you should create your button states on your favorite software, as example, photoshop. Then, in your android layouts you point your button background src to a drawable XML containing all button states.
Example XML for button:
<Button android:id="@+id/back"
android:layout_width="184px" android:layout_height="44px"
android:background="@+drawable/back" />
After this, you need your custom picture for the button, and the button XML on your drawables folder, here's the XML you need for your button:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_pressed" /> <!-- pressed -->
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/button_focused" /> <!-- focused -->
<item android:drawable="@drawable/button_normal" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

This is actually the right answer. Don't know why the op didn't mark this one.
The title bar you mentioned about is called "Action Bar"
You can learn how to implement it here:
