VectorDrawableCompat Resources$NotFoundException on KitKat and below

Question

When I enable

vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

I get a lot of resourceNotFoundExceptions on KitKat and below devices. I get this for NavigationView for Menus and also for ImageViews with app:srcCompat

Answer 1

One issue could be the vector itself. One of my paths was like 4k characters long and although there was a warning I just ignored it. Although it was previewing fine, it would crash at run time.

Answer 2

For me, I was using style reference for solid color ?colorAccent for a shape. It crash on KitKat but not above. Updated to use actual color code and it goes away. <solid android:color="#7885cb" />

Answer 3

I faced same issue but after some hour of wasting solved the issue

1. Remove drawables make sure just have drawable

2. In build.gradle use

   defaultConfig {vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true}

   3. Make set vector drawable to ImageView as below
      <ImageView android:id="@+id/ivLogo" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/your_selector" app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_your_vector_logo" />

   4. Your activity must extends AppCompatActiviity instead of Activity

I hope your problem solved.

Answer 4

To fix this issue, I had to add the following code at the application startup (Application subclass) :

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);

In addition to :

• Use app:srcCompat in layout definition (ImageButton view in my case) instead of android:src.
• Activate in gradle : vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

Answer 5

To support versions before Lollipop, use

com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0 (or later)

support library.

And then, instead of

ContextCompat.getDrawable(view.getContext(), id);

use this one

AppCompatResources.getDrawable(view.getContext(), id);

Answer 6

If you are using vectorDrawableComapt and setting it in XML remember to do it the correct way:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_add"

Answer 7

I found the problem: I had my vector-drawables in drawable-anydpi/ - this produces this crash - when i move the drawables to drawable/ it works fine

Answer 8

I was able to use the vector drawables on pre-Lollipop devices by wrapping them in a StateListDrawable (a selector).

More precisely, I created a selector drawable in XML, and then added a single vector drawable in them :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/vector_ic_action_add" />
</selector>

I then use this "wrapped" drawable in my menu. If you want more information about how it works, check out this very useful post by Chris Banes.

Answer 9

as far as I've read on the docs there's only XML access for ImageView.

For the Menu you'll have to use in java.

toolbar.inflateMenu(menuResId);
toolbar.getMenu()
       .findItem(menuItemId)
       .setIcon(VectorDrawableCompat
                       .createFromResource(resource, drawableId);
