In android.R.drawable, read more here : http://docs.since2006.com/android/2.1-drawables.php

Simple resource usage :

android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_save"

Simple Java usage :

myMenuItem.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_save);

A huge collection of useful icons is easily accessible like this:

Right click on Drawable folder
Click on New
Click on Vector Asset
In the dialog, click the button in the third row with a random icon, next to the label "Clip Art:". You can pick from the huge collection, then customize size and color.
