Does anybody know, where I can find the original image-files (button backgrounds, menu icons, etc.) used by Android? I'd need something like the text input background for my own view, but would like it to match the existing style as exactly as possible. Also I need the correct padding etc. But besides checking out the whole Android source from Github I have no idea where to find those images.
In Android Studio inside the res folder, one can find the drawable folder, layout folder, mipmap folder, values folder, etc. Among them, the drawable folder contains the different types of images used for the development of the application.
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.
The res/values folder is used to store the values for the resources that are used in many Android projects to include features of color, styles, dimensions etc.
Android system images are just versions of Android that you can run on a computer. So if you wanted to test the very latest stuff you could download an Android O system image and run it on the emulator to see what Android O is like.
Go to the folder where you installed the Android SDK. You find the resources in
platforms > android-* > data > res > drawable-*
