Binary XML file line #1: invalid drawable tag vector

android xml android-drawable android-resources android-vectordrawable

Solution 1

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:{current_version}'

If the issue is caused by a drawableLeft or drawableRight then replace TextView with androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView or EditText with androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText.

Then, use one of:

app:drawableLeftCompat
app:drawableStartCompat
app:drawableEndCompat
app:drawableRightCompat

Solution 2

Documentation about Vector Graphics says:

Android 4.4 (API level 20) and lower doesn't support vector drawables.

With Support Library you have backward-compatibility using the attribute app:srcCompat, but it is not backported for android:drawableRight.

The solution is to keep using .PNG files for those cases or try to set it by code.

Solution 3

To create vector drawable use:

vector = VectorDrawableCompat.create(context.getResources(), R.drawable.res, null);

Or add AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true) to Application onCreate() method

Note: this solution doesn't work for android:drawableLetf or android:drawableRight but allow to use app:srcCompat

Solution 4

You can use this solution to get vector drawables before 5.0 :

Drawable drawable = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(mContext, mImageTitleResId);

    I have an app that runs perfectly on most devices. However, I'm getting a FATAL exception whenever I try to run my application on devices with API < 21.

    Here is the log:

    The enquirer is using vector drawables, removing that line from the gradle file would remove the support for vector drawables in pre API 20 devices.

    CApricorn....... It can use the Support Library option, which allows it to use vector drawables in versions prior to api 20, as developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio

    Setting it by code works? Or did you have to change the drawable to a PNG?

    Not necessary switch to PNG, you can play with your layout and and include your vector drawable as an image view.

    Your solution doesn't work for android:drawableLetf or android:drawableRight

    The same fix can be applied when using Button and it's AppCompatButton counterpart.

    This should be a replacement for ContextCompat.getDrawable

    I still got same issue in Android 4.4.2 by using this solution. I just wrap vector xml into layerlist drawable file. I don't know whether this make it error.

    @abner was correct. To remove vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true it works for me. i am not sure why he got downvote. if you read this article medium.com/androiddevelopers/… it mention This flag prevents the Android Gradle Plugin from generating PNG versions of your vector assets if your minSdkVersion is < 21—we don’t need this as if we use the AndroidX library instead.
