get the icons native android?

Question

can anyone tell me where I get the icons native android?

Answer 1

I think what you are asking for is the icons that are used by the Android OS. If that's the case you can view them in the android.jar file that is installed with the SDK.

<sdk-install-path>/platforms/<any-platform>/android.jar

If you extract that jar and have a look at the res/drawable* folders you will see the icons used throughout the OS. You can also access them from within your code using:

@android:drawable/<name of drawable>

Answer 2

It's not clear if you want to access the icons as files or through your application. If you want the actual icons you can grab them from the source code.

The source code for Android is available here at android.googlesource.com:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/

Specifically:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/master/core/res/res/drawable-hdpi/

Many of the Android icons / resources are available by resource ID. The resource IDs for those are in the android.R class.
