On the topic of standard icons , the Android Documentation mentions that:
Below are the standard menu icons that are used in the Android system. Since these resources may vary between versions of the platform, you should not refer to the system copy of Resources. If you want to use any icons or other internal resource resources, you must save a local copy of these icons or drawings in the application resources, then contact your local copy the application code. In this way, you can maintain control over the appearance of your icons, even if the copy of the system changes. Please note that the list below is not meant to be complete.
In my application, I use standard icons like ic_menu_sort_alphabetically, and so I tried to find these icons to include them in my application.
However, in "android-sdk / platform / android-8 / android.jar" I find only icons in drawable-mdpi and drawable-hdpi - there is not a default folder with the ability to draw with icons, ldpi with low-resolution versions of these icons . However, such a low-resolution version will require the provision of native versions on ldpi devices such as HTC Wildfire.
Are there any "official" versions of Android icons scalable in ldpi? Although it is likely that the ldpi versions are stored somewhere on my HTC Wildfire device, I assume that they are copyrighted by HTC, and not under the same open source license as the icons in the Android distribution.
