Unable to use android rectifier?

I am trying to use one of the Spinner backlinks (spinner_black_16, spinner_black_20, spinner_black_48 or spinner_black_76) as shown on this page . My project uses the SDK 2.1, so I upgraded it to version 2.2, as this page contains the version of the SDK in which they are included. Unfortunately, none of them android.R.drawable.spinner_black_xxappear to be defined.

Are these drawings inaccessible for use by developers? The only other way that I seem to be able to access them is with the following method:

final Drawable spinner = new ProgressBar(context).getIndeterminateDrawable();

Unfortunately, this gives me a white counter, not a black one.

The best way to access these drawings is to copy them from the SDK directory to your project, and then access them, like any other resources.

Allotments are in $ANDROID_SDK_DIR/platforms/android-*/data/res/drawable-*/. You can download and select the OS version from which you want to pull out the drawings. API level 7 / OS version 2.1 has the full complement:

Although the official “Official Android Icon Design Guide” is currently used to explicitly address this situation , it recommends copying:
