Where is information for all publicly available platform resources?

I've found a few 3rd party sites that have, for example, the drawables listed. However, I cannot find a document on the Android SDK site that gives an overview of the platform resources available for developers, including shapes, styles, and such. It would be nice to see it all laid out in one place and to see which API levels they are available from. Is there a document, either on the SDK site or provided by someone else, that gives an overview of all platform resources?

They are on your development machine, wherever you have your SDK installed. Go into platforms/.../data/res and they are all there (where ... is some Android version).

Part of the reason for distributing them this way is that device manufacturers can and do change some of these resources on their devices, mostly drawables and strings. Most times, you are better served copying drawables from the SDK into your project, so that you maintain internal consistency within your application.
