I am trying to find a visual list of available icons in Android that comes with the sdk.
The ones I am interested in is the 2.3 gingerbread icons. There s a nice reference but it is a snapshot of 2.2 icons ( and apparently they are not the same, for example I couldnT find "addcontact" in 2.3 sdk)
Thanks in advance.
Try this my friend:

Good day to everyone! This is my first question :)
I am a beginner to Android Studio and I'm trying to write some code for an app. Surfing the web I've found videos showing interesting features about spinner and expandableListView that I'd like to use in my application. The problem is I can't find these items no matter what.
I have an android studio 3.5.3 version and the videos I saw showed versions 1.some.some and 2.some.some. Can anyone help me out with this, please?
Here an image about the palette I have in the android studio.
If you want to use lists in general you should use RecyclerView instead. You can still find now and then applications that use Spinners (they are under containers not widgets). – DemoDemo
Intellij idea has a list of most used vector icons in "Asset studio", appreciate for filtering icons by category, But how can I search a term among those icons to find it a bit easily?
Regardless of what you are using Android Studio or Idea IDE I suppose you can just start typing while select icon window is active.
I am on OS X and it looks a bit different here:
P.S. The screenshot is from Android Studio 3.0 Beta 2, but Android Studio 2.3 stable has exactly the same asset studio interface.
P.P.S. Android Studio is based on Idea IDE + Android plugin. Asset Studio is available in both of them and works identically. Just Checked.
I know this may sound a trivial question, but I can't figure it out on my own. I've Googled and searched many many times. I know it may have a simple solution but I don't know where to search anymore. In general, I'm a Windows programmer, but I started programming for Android about 4 months ago. I've developed a fairly extensive application. The problem began when I started programming...my spinners are the solid gray rectangular style (unlike the newer style with the triangle in the lower right corner). When I started developing this app several months ago, I couldn't figure out why my spinners were different (after many hours) so I just ignored it. I'm at the point now of polishing my program and want the newer spinner style. So, I'm beating my head against the wall again. I went to my Android SDK Manager in Eclipse and updated my Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools. I have the latest versions of all of these (22.3 and 19.0.1). When I create a new project, the newer spinner style appears. However, none of my older projects changed. They still have the same old gray, rectangular type spinners. I tried using a "android format" line command I found while Googling, but no luck with that either. I know there is probably something really simple I can do, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me with this? I'm using ADT Bundle with build v22.2.1-833290 on a Mac OSX Mavericks.
Newer spinner style works from API level 11.
So, you have to run in Android 3.0 and higher devices. If u want the same style in below 3.0 versions, then you have to customize your style. Like, take that newer style type of image and apply as a background to the spinner.
Try using ActionBarSherlock in your code. This will give you an advantage to have actionbar in lower versions of android. Also it contains ICSSpinner(An alternative to androids default spinner), which will give the newer look of spinners in lower versions of android.
Here's the link for ActionBarSherlock

Has anyone seen a icon library that has the thin style gray scale look as the new updated android market app?
Yes, install the new SDK APIs and look into these platforms within the SDK folder.
Really don't know what you exactly mean. maybe you post some screenshot or give more details.
here is a list of some quite good icon-packs

My friend tried my app with his new galaxy tab and it seems it is a little different than the emulator I tested it on. His options menu for the app was dark instead of the white background and you could not really see any of the options and most of the app did not work properly. I made the app on the 2.1 android update and am very stumped I tried searching for something about this but could not find anything. Is there a way to modify to act accordingly if this happens?
Samsung modified a lot of standard themes and images. The only way to fix it, that I found, was to force my own theme and use my own images everywhere.
Since Android 2.3 the menu background has changed to black. But the general color palette for the icons you make shouldn't be that much different. See more here:
Android Menu Design Guidelines
If you wish to have different icons for android version 2.3 and earlier versions put the icons for Android 2.3 and later in a resource folder with -v9 appended to the folder name. Example:
drawable-hdpi-v9
You should do the same thing with notification icons, as android 2.3 really made a big change to the way notification icons should look.
Btw, if you are looking for an easy way to make icons for your application, Roman Nurik's asset studio is really great: http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/index.html
