        versionName "1.0"
    }

            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

A workaround for this issue is to disable the auto PNG rasterizing per densities; add the following statement in your build.gradle:

defaultConfig {
    //...
    generatedDensities = []
}

[philote]

After adding:

defaultConfig {
    //...
    generatedDensities = []
}

I am getting this: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID for every Vector resource. Any ideas?

Example line where the exception is happening:

VectorDrawable chevronDrawable = VectorDrawable.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.vect_ic_chevron_right);

vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

Hi there. :wave:

I'm using Android Studio 2.1.2.

Adding vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true to the defaultConfig { ... } section of my build.gradle file seems to alleviate this problem for me. :smile: Something like:

    defaultConfig {
        //...
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    } 

Thanks @alkurop for the suggestion. :+1:
