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

I formatted my pc, download the newest flutter SDK and surprised that last thing before I formatted my pc that there was a log_out and video_settings Icons, but after, it gives me error, and what made me confused that I found video_settings icon in material icons page !!. so, any ideas why I can't use it in my app ?
If you upgraded your version of flutter and there is an error, it means that those icons are no longer supported.
You will have to use another icon library. Take a look at font awesome, it provides a large range of icons ranging from barcodes to video. It's available for free on pubspec.

I'm creating an app that shows Call Log.
In most of the contacts app we see arrows representing incoming/outgoing/missed calls.
where can I get them or can I create them using drawables or something?
You can install and use this plugin - Android Material Design Icon Generator - in Android Studio. It has a collection of several icons. It will also automatically put different sizes of drawables in their respective drawable folders.
To install a plugin in Android Studio: Goto settings/preferences -> plugins -> browse repositories.
If you are talking about icons, you can try Google Material Icons. It is the standard library of icons recommended by Google.

I got those icons from this website.I think this is very good website to make new icons
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:

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
In this linked image , I see the button on the right quite often in a lot of apps. On my Moto Droid, it is used extensively in the settings app. It is also used as the default AlertDialog icon. Can I use this via a android.r.drawable?
The icon is built-in with the Android development, you can access the image by using R.drawable.ic_dialog_menu_generic
While it may be possible to use it via android.R.drawable, you may want to find the image in the resources that come with your SDK ($ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$VERSION/data/res, where $ANDROID_HOME is where you have the SDK installed and $VERSION is a relevant Android API level). So, per Mr. Forloney's answer, you'll find that in, say, drawable-hdpi/ic_dialog_menu_generic.png in the aforementioned directory. Then, copy that image into your project. While it will add 5K to your project size, it will mean that the icon does not change based upon OEM or Android changes.
