Where can I find Android Tab Icons

Question

Does anybody know of a website where I can find Android TabHost icons? (free or paid)

Programmers in general are not always good graphic designers. However they rely heavily on graphics to make good applications. In this way, easily finding useful graphics is indeed related to programming in my opinion... — jake_hetfield, Jan 20 '12 at 11:36

Annoying that it doesn't work in Opera, Safari or Firefox (Chrome only), but otherwise very useful. – Dan Dyer Apr 18 '11 at 22:58

Also there are several Drawables that can be reused from android.jar.

This website catalogs them with their names: http://androiddrawableexplorer.appspot.com/

There are a bunch of good ones for use with tabs.

These are on your computer, if you have the Android SDK installed. Go to the SDK directory, go into `platforms/`, pick an Android version (e.g., `android-8/`), then go into `data/res/`. You will find the icons in `drawable-hdpi/` and `drawable/mdpi/`. – CommonsWare Jun 22 '10 at 19:36
I looked in the folder and found the icon I wanted ic_menu_refresh but when I tried to set it using setImageResource(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_refresh it didn't resolve?? I assume it's bad practice to physically copy the icons to my drawable folder? – Bear Jun 29 '11 at 00:25

@Bear Google actually recommends copying the icons into your drawable folder since the Android graphic may differ from device to device. See http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_tab.html#examples5 – Nathan Fig Jul 08 '11 at 17:00
