Where could I find android system drawable resources? [android API-7]

Question

Standard Android menu icons, for example refresh

I want to use some android drawables because users already familiar with them.

I've found this nice site where I can see the names of resources I need. But I couldn't find some resources inside android.R.drawable.

For example I want to use checkboxes drawables in my application:

enter image description here

From that site I see that names of those drawables are btn_check_off and btn_check_on though I don't see such names in my android.R.drawable.

Is it even possible to use any system drawable?

That's just [btn_check](https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/eclair-release/core/res/res/drawable/btn_check.xml) which has those states internally. You may be unable to use the state drawables directly. — zapl, Nov 18 '12 at 19:03
@zapl I have this specific task when I need to display checkbox as ImageView. I need checkbox in the ListView item, and it's not working like list item with checkbox in it but everything OK when I add ImageView which looks like checkbox. — Vitalii Korsakov, Nov 19 '12 at 06:36
In case you don't want to do it with `ImageView`s: a ListView with checkboxes is possible without manually setting images, http://windrealm.org/tutorials/android/listview-with-checkboxes-without-listactivity.php & http://android.cyrilmottier.com/?p=525 - especially the `descendantFocusability` parameter in the layout can be required — zapl, Nov 19 '12 at 10:50
@zapl Thank! This is what I was searching first but without success. — Vitalii Korsakov, Nov 21 '12 at 06:34

Most of assets can be found there:

<SDK>\platforms\android-<VERSION>\data\res\

so, assuming you got all it fetched, in your case:

<SDK>\platforms\android-7\data\res\

however not all elements are full available via direct reference. Just copy/modify what you need and add to your project
