I decided to use svg-files in my project. My choice fell on this library
I convert SVG images to an xml resource using a plugin for AndroidStudio - SVG2VectorDrawable. The output is the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:viewportWidth="500" android:viewportHeight="500" android:width="500dp" android:height="500dp"> <group android:name="layer1" android:translateY="-552.36218" android:translateX="0"> <path android:pathData="m 249.61649,554.37094 c -136.86649,0 -247.92681,111.06032 -247.92681,247.92681 0,136.8665 111.06032,247.66695 247.92681,247.66695 136.8665,0 247.66694,-110.80045 247.66694,-247.66695 0,-136.86649 -110.80044,-247.92681 -247.66694,-247.92681 zm -95.11657,98.75492 271.83589,157.4881 c -102.83575,57.01556 -160.15202,89.00467 -271.83589,157.4881 l 0,-314.9762 z" android:name="path3871" android:fillColor="#673AB7" android:fillAlpha="1" android:strokeColor="#00FFFFFF" /> </group> </vector>

In the code I use everything as in the example:

 imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView); imageView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null); try { SVG svg = SVG.getFromResource(this, R.drawable.vector_drawable_vector_playup); Drawable drawable = new PictureDrawable(svg.renderToPicture()); imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable); } catch(SVGParseException e) { Log.d("Test","e: "+e.toString()); }

The result of my work is the following Exception :

 com.caverock.androidsvg.SVGParseException: SVG parse error: At line 1, column 0: not well-formed (invalid token)

If anyone has encountered a similar problem or simply knows its solution, please answer. I've already read Google and Stack - I haven't found a solution yet.

    Here either SVG2VectorDrawable, or AndroidSVG. You do both. SVG.getFromResource expects natural svg, not converted ... - Yura Ivanov
  • Please post a comment in reply. I added the svg-file directly, which I placed in the raw directory. And it turned out to add. - Djangorussia

The AndroidSVG library works with the original svg. Therefore, there is no need to convert svg files for use in the library.

In addition, to work with vector images (just converted) in android is VectorDrawableCompat from the support library (starting from 23.2). See starting from here .
