You have to stop the emulator and restart anytime you add new files (I believe). Over the weekend I was having issues with local files being recognized in the emulator. Try "refreshing" after restarting if they aren't showing. Also, make sure your file names contain only lowercase letters and numbers, nothing more. Android is pretty picky about file-names. I'd make them as short and simple as possible. Good luck! Andy Comments Icons should go in the Res --> Drawable folder.

(But don't use them if you want to be sure!) Comments File names should be lowercase a-z and 0-9 with no underscores or special characters although I think a hyphen is ok.
