I've just downloaded the Action Bar Icon Pack from https://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html, and I've not been able to figure out a way to "install" these icons in Android Studio... Should I copy&paste it to the res/drawable folder, one by one? Or is there some dir where I could unzip them all?
The right-hand side of the action bar shows the actions. The action buttons (3) show the most important actions of your app. Actions that do not fit in the action bar are moved to the action overflow, and an overflow icon appears on the right. Tap on the overflow icon to display the list of remaining action views.
All action buttons and other items available in the action overflow are defined in an XML menu resource. To add actions to the action bar, create a new XML file in your project's res/menu/ directory. The app:showAsAction attribute specifies whether the action should be shown as a button on the app bar.
Android ActionBar is a menu bar that runs across the top of the activity screen in android. Android ActionBar can contain menu items which become visible when the user clicks the “menu” button.
The ActionBar, now known as the App Bar, is a consistent navigation element that is standard throughout modern Android applications. The ActionBar can consist of: An application icon. An "upward" navigation to logical parent. An application or activity-specific title.
The Action Bar Icon Pack
is similar to the a normal drawable resource
that is used in the any project. The purpose of this is for designer
to have a guideline
to develop new icons or customize existing icons
using tools like Illustrator
To answer your question -
Use Existing icons - copy/past the icons to desired res/drawable folder as you wish to use it.
Create/Edit icons - Import the icons to your Image Editor's(eg. Illustrator) to edit/create icons.
