Ralf: Thanks: I have duplicated them and it works. I don't like wasting the storage space, especially since apps need to live in internal memory. Having two copies of many icons seems very wasteful.
Xavier: I have trouble understanding what you are saying. The icons are png files -- they display very well in WebView using standard html (<img src="check_icon.png"/>). The issue is that I don't know how to refer to files in res/drawable. If you're suggesting I convert them to mime format or something, that defeats my purpose of trying to save space. I suppose I could try building the web page on the fly from an html file stored in the res directory, but I think I'd still have the same reference issue.
