Support XML vector drawables

Open schildbach opened this issue 10 years ago • 8 comments

Vector drawables are basically a subset of SVG, but on Android 5+ they can be used directly, instead of bitmaps. It would be nice if I could use this plugin to generate a couple of fallback bitmaps for the older Android versions.

Will try but maybe later... The primary goal of this plugin is to generate drawable/mipmap for every density from a scalable vector graphic (svg)... VectorDrawable are actually already scalable so I doupt it needs to be added in this plugin or might be generated into drawable-v21

On API 21 and above, of course the vector drawables would be used directly. I was just looking for a way to generate the fallback PNG drawables for API 20 and below automatically and thought this project would fit.

Can look after VectorDrawableCompat

VectorDrawableCompat is meant for runtime, and it's a pain to use. I'm looking for an easy solution at build time.

Have to see the spec. Should be easy to convert to svg using xslt...

I'm watching the "What’s new in Android Development Tools" talk from this year's Google I/O and guess what, at the 3 minute mark they announce just this feature (+ big applause). Now I'm looking for how to use it.
