Try android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add" Note that there was an extended thread on [android-developers] not that long ago, where we were given official advice to be careful when referencing internal graphics like that. Different devices will have different themes, and so the icons will change look. If you need the icon to keep consistent (e.g., to match other icons you are drawing), make yourself a local copy of the image. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
