I have just started writing my first ever Java/Android application, so forgive the total n00b question.
How do you access the the standard operating system icons such as search icon/menu icon etc? They are not in the res/drawable folder where I would expect to find them. Are they available as part of the SDK or must you download them seperately?
EDIT
Maybe you can help me further - I am getting the following error (repeated on):
[2011-09-08 19:59:47 - TweetTab] C:UsersDanworkspaceTweetTab
esmenuoptions_menu.xml:4: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/ic_menu_search').
However, the icon is not empty, the xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/search"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:title="@string/search"/>
</menu>
Am I missing something?
SOLVED
I changed android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_search"
to android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
and it could then find the icon.
