I'm putting together an app that lets users create tags (cooking, tv, shopping, etc.) and I want to allow them to pick an icon to attach to the tag.
I haven't been able to find anything online, I think mostly because I can't word it in a way that is distinct enough from everyone that seems to be having problems with their apps actual icon. But I've seen it in plenty of apps in my day.
Is there any way to implement an in-app icon picker? Preferably a method that doesn't involve me having to individually add 100+ icons as resources in my project?
Look at this "icon picker dialog" at:

In Android, I need to make an App icon as like a watch. That icon shows Seconds, Minute and hour lines as per system current time. All lines are moved as per the current time. Means runnable icon like a real watch. Like as per the given image.
Unfortunately, it's not possible for third party apps, as the app you are referring to is a native Samsung app in which Samsung will have the ability to do whatever it wants regarding it, and will have the ability to control the home screen as it wants, but for third party apps and as a general case you can only provide one app icon, and as mentioned here in this fulfill answer it can happen only in a certain way and under certain conditions in only small amount of cases:
I seem to recall that somebody has a GitHub project that tries to wrap
the proprietary APIs of various home screens. IIRC, some supported
capabilities included either replacing the app icon or adding a badge
(e.g., unread message count). However:
Only a small percentage of devices will support those proprietary APIs
Undocumented and unsupported APIs, discovered through reverse-engineering apps, are subject to change and may break in
unexpected ways
Using app icon you didn't achieve what you want.for this functionality, you need to create Android widget.how to create a widget and how to add into widget list for that you need to do RnD on it.
How can I add an icon next to the search orb, just as displayed below? I'd like to display a login page when the user clicks on the icon.
You can't, if you want to use the standard widgets offered by the Leanback library, such as BrowseFragment.
There is a way of creating your own version of the BrowseFragment widget, so that it is fully customizable and you can add as many buttons as you like, but it is definitely not easy to do. I've written a series of posts on this subject, which you can find here:

There is also a demo project that already gives you a starting point for the custom interface. The code can be found on this GitHub repo (episode_4 is probably what you're looking for).
A major part of my app I am creating is to allow the user to create a folder on their homescreen that they can put apps into and customize. I have done some searching around and honestly have no idea if it is possible to do this. I don't see why it wouldn't be able to be done. I have noticed other apps that are avalible for purchase that allow users to do this (for example, edit the icon and name of the folder), what can I do to do that for example? Thanks!
I'm looking to add a menu option to change the font size in my Android application. Most applications I've seen that have this option (Kindle reader, Google Books) use an icon like "Aa" to indicate the ability to change the font size, but I can't seem to find a standard icon for this for Android. Is there one? Or am I better off creating my own?
I know what you mean but cant think that android have a designated icon, I would advise creating one of your own. It's more fun creating your own anyway.
On stock android, what is that thing called when you click a contact's picture and it brings up a list of quick links? this is also what you see when you long hold a icon in ADW Launcher.
More importantly though, i would like to know which png files in the folder frameworks/base/core/res/res/drawable-hdpi (from cm7 source, aka framework-res.apk) relate to that android view? (That is assuming they are in that folder, if not let me know).
I want to edit these but i cant for the life of me figure out which files relate to it. I have been searching around for a while and cant find anything on it.
This is known as Quick Contact Badge
