When I used an Activity Template in Android Studio I got a Navigation View where the following icons were used:

<item ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_home_black_24dp" ... />
<item ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_dashboard_black_24dp" />
<item ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_notifications_black_24dp" />

I'm not very familiar with Android so my question is where I can find a list of all available icons (and if the list differs for different Andriod versions etc).

  • You want list of icons in Android sdk or custom icons? – nhoxbypass Nov 08 '17 at 14:24
  • I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, but as "standard" as possible. I'm sure there are lots of available icons, I just don't know their names. – Stefan Nov 08 '17 at 14:26

    This is standard icons from Google: https://material.io/icons/ And this is custom icons (included standard icons from Google): https://materialdesignicons.com/. You can choose the size, or export list of icons for support multi-dimension – nhoxbypass Nov 08 '17 at 14:29

  1. Select the desired icon here. For example, you need info icon. Look at what section is the icon. See that, the info icon is in the Action section.
  2. Find XML-file by icon name here. Open Action folder. XML-files for Android in these folders: drawable-anydpi-v21. We need file ic_info_black_24dp.xml
  3. Copy ic_info_black_24dp.xml to you Android studio project to folder app/res/drawable.

  4. Use icon

    <item ... android:icon="@drawable/ic_info_black_24dp" />

  • It is also useful just to download the whole icons repository to your machine: `git clone git@github.com:google/material-design-icons.git` – James Bond Nov 28 '21 at 19:39
