Icons

Just like Google offers a bazillion fonts, they also have a large number of icons in the Material Icon font, which you can see and download also as images. Since the ActionItem instance does not allow us to change the font, I had to use an actual graphic on iOS. In this case, I looked through the list of icons available, found a settings icon at https://www.google.com/design/icons/#ic_settings, then downloaded the 24dp black pngs. After opening up the ZIP file, you should see both an iOS and an Android folder. I created a new app/icons folder and then copied the three images out of the iOS folder and put them in the new apps/icon folder.

With all these changes, the app now actually looks proper. The final piece of the puzzle is the code to communicate with the server.
