Menu
I am integrating ActionBarSherlock in my app and I want to have some menus with some items and its respective icons.
I have looked into samples and documentation, and everything seems to be clear, but when I Inflate the menu, I can see just the text because there are no icons related to each item yet.
I would like to use the icons you see when creating an android project:
But I can't find it, and I don't want to use direct reference to android.R.drawable in order to use those clipart icons, because I have read it is recommended to have the files in drawable folders.

There are several different types of drawables: Bitmap File.
In Android Studio, right-click on the “drawable” folder and select “New” » “Vector Asset”. From there, for “Asset Type”, select “Local file (SVG, PSD)” Enter a name for the icon. Enter the path to your icon, or use the folder icon to choose the icon in your file explorer.
