How to use default Android drawables

Question

What is the best approach when using default Android drawables? Should I use android.R.drawable or should I copy the drawables in my project and use R.dra

Answer 1

To use the default android drawable resource, no need copy anything.. you can just import it first with..

import android.R;

but i will make your own resources will have an error if you want to use it. The error will be something like:

R. cannot be resolved

So, I prefer not to import android.R but import *my.own.package*.R;

then when I can normally use my own resource with R.drawable.*something* without error, and put android.R.*something_default* to use the default android resources.
