A few pre-requisites in the build.gradle
for vectors to work all the way down to API 7 for VectorDrawables and API 13 for AnimatedVectorDrawables (with some caveats currently):
//Build Tools has to be 24+
buildToolsVersion '24.0.0'
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
generatedDensities = []
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
}
In your layout.xml
:
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
appCompat:src="@drawable/vector_drawable"
android:contentDescription="@null" />
