I have downloaded the Android Design Icons from the android website. To be specific its Android Design - Icons 20131120, the one I have downloaded on my pc. What I need is the ic_menu_save (64x64 in dimension) icon which is not present in the folder Core_Icons\unstyled\xhdpi. This icon is whitish/transparent when you see it at first glance. Where do I find this one?
if you are looking for this icon
you can get this in Action bar icons as menu has been replaced with Actionbar and the below is the link for the Actionbar icons
https://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html
in this webpage Action bar Icon pack, click on the Action Bar Icon pack blue button to download those images
there will be holo light and holo dark images, you can find grey or white as per your requirement you can that particular image in 05_content_save folder of all the sizes
I think android icon has been updated and you can find save icon in this folder
"Android_Design_Icons_20131106\Android Design - Icons 20131120\Action Bar Icons\holo_light\05_content_save"
Hope this might help you a bit.

I want to use my own made custom icons such as a brand logo and a brand text to my action bar used as toolbar but the problem is that my logo image and brand text image becomes distort when i add these on action bar even i have created separate files such as "mdpi" etc.I tried to create icons with image asset studio but icons becomes so smaller and resizing them effect their visual quality
Here is the image of action bar
Now i am in the trouble suggest me better solution to add icons in a perfect way to my action bar which is used as toolbar.
Visit https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-generic.html#source.type=clipart&source.clipart=ac_unit&source.space.trim=1&source.space.pad=0&size=32&padding=8&color=rgba(0%2C%200%2C%200%2C%200.54)&name=ic_ac_unit
Create a Generic icon of 32dp or 48dp with Asset Padding 0dp.
Check the image of my action bar.
For example, I downloaded an icon from Google which is simply a check mark. I put this icon in my app's action bar but unfortunately the icon is black and my action bar is quite dark so it doesn't look good. Is there a way to style the icon automatically or do I have to edit the png to be white instead? I found this website which mentions styling an icon but I'm not sure if that's a guideline for a designer or actually something that goes into code.
What is the standard way to style icons? Do I need to download black and white icons and use the appropriate one at runtime based on the app theme? That seems like it could be a pain.
For myself, if I need to style an icon, I use photoshop to edit the icon. But any image processing software should work if you are familiar with it.
However, the icons you mentioned that are available online usually come with both a dark and light theme. So if you have a dark action bar theme, you can simply download and use the light version of the icon.
For your checkmark icon specifically, you can download either the light or dark version of it here, here, or here. Hope this helps.
look at this web site http://bitdroid.de/Android-Material-Icon-Generator/

Is it the standard icon? What is it called? (android.R.drawable.???)
I am referring to the update or refresh icon.

You can get this icon, like #panini said, in the Android Design Downloads page.
There are two versions, the Holo Light and Holo Dark, and it is the Holo Dark one that is shown in your link. An example of the image is shown in the same page under "Action Bar Icon Pack".
I am trying to implement Easy Share Action for my Android application as describe in here. I was able to complete it successfully. But I need to change the Sharing Menu Item icon color or even icon. According to the given document we don't provide any icon in drawable folders.
You can download the Action Bar Icon Pack from here, locate the sharing icon you want whether holo light or dark.
For instance if you use holo light, the share icon is located in \Action Bar Icons\holo_light\01_core_share.
Should be easy to change the color of the drawables and copy to /res folder of your project.
I've been using the huge time-saver Android asset studio at http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/index.html to help with taking my images and creating tab icons.
I'm now using the asset studio to generate actionbar icons for the options menu. I've given it an image of color white with 80% opacity as specified in the design guidelines. The problem is that the images appears very dark, as if the icon is disabled. In fact, on actual hardware, I cannot even tell the icons are on the screen. (My theme is holo-dark, btw) If I generate using the asset studio option 'menu icons' then then the icons are no longer so dark, but appear slightly too large.
The menu I'm creating is the one created through onCreateOptionsMenu. Should I be using the menu icons or actionbar icon generator in the asset studio? If actionbar icons, why do the icons always appear very dark?
Did you try changing the Theme when generating the icons using the Asset Studio? There's an option to switch between Holo Light and Holo Dark. With Holo Dark active, the output images are definitely white-ish, which leaves me to believe you might've used Holo Light (which will give quite dark icons).
