The complete set of material icons are available on the material icon library. The icons are available for download in SVG or PNGs, formats that are suitable for web, Android, and iOS projects or for inclusion in any designer tools.
Material design in Android is one of the key features that attracts and engages the customer towards the application. This is a special type of design, which is guided by Google.
In order to use Material Components for Android, and the latest versions of the Support Libraries, you will have to install Android Studio 3.5 or higher to build with Android 10, and update your app's compileSdkVersion to 29.
Take a look at Vector Asset Studio
Follow these steps to start Vector Asset Studio:
- In Android Studio, open an Android app project.

- Right-click the res folder and select New > Vector Asset.
After you open Vector Asset Studio, you can add a material icon as follows:

You can use this new plugin for android studio Android Material Design Icon Generator Plugin to help you work with these material icons provided by Google : Google material-design-icons
Here is a script that clones the github repository of the material design icons at
https://github.com/google/material-design-icons
and creates an index of all files. It also copies the svg files to subdirectories by category. You can use this as a basis to copy the files your are interested in into your project - just modify the find and cp copy statement to your liking. If you e.g. need the png's at a certain size - they are in neighbouring directories and you need to modify the find and copy command accordingly then.
