selecting resources from gui instead of using XML

Question

I'm able to select android provided colors in xml using @android:color/black etc but I'm unable to find android option in Reference Chooser GUI.Is there a way?

I remember that I found android in Reference chooser sometime back.

I don't believe there is a way to do this using the Reference Chooser GUI.

What you can do is visit the field in the xml view, type "@android:" as the value for the specific entry you wish to edit and then press CMD+SPACE on mac or CTRL+SPACE on windows to show the autocomplete options. Here you will be able to navigate the resources available to you.

If you want the default Android, then you can look into the Android SDK under this path:

platforms\android-<API Level>\data\res\values\colors.xml.

You can also look at this answer I gave a while back.
