title: Android Development: Unable to create an icon @drawable/ic_action_search
body: <p>I am new to Android Development. I was just following the basic turorial on <code>developer.android.com</code> to create my first application.</p>
  
  <p>As I was creating the Action BAr, I had to add this Search button to it. I created the menu xml and this is what I had written on it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- Search, should appear as action button --&gt;
  &lt;item android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
        android:title="@string/action_search"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom" /&gt;
  &lt;!-- Settings, should always be in the overflow --&gt;
  &lt;item android:id="@+id/action_settings"
        android:title="@string/action_settings"
        android:showAsAction="never" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now my question is on this part of the XML</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a compilation error in eclipse, which says,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/ic_action_search').</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I checked on developer.android.com and also googled it out, but I'm just not able to locate a solution.</p>
  
  <p>I need to solve this problem. As always, I am able to skip this part of the XML and what I get is just plain text "SEARCH", but the icon will definitely look better.    </p>
