Here’s an example vector asset which we’re actually using in AppCompat:
res/drawable/ic_search.xml
<vector xmlns:android="..."
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0"
android:tint="?attr/colorControlNormal">
<path
android:pathData="..."
android:fillColor="@android:color/white"/>
</vector>
Using this drawable, an example ImageView
declaration would be:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_search"/>
You can also set it at run-time:
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(...);
iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_search);
The same attribute and calls work for ImageButton
too.
