VectorDrawable Backwards Compatibility And Installing Unofficial Support Libraries

Question

Bear with me, I\'m new!
I want to use vectors in my android app, and I want my app to be backwards compatible. I found this support library that looks pretty cool!*
So

Answer 1

Here is a option that worked for me Use this library - https://github.com/wnafee/vector-compat (api 14+)

android {
    // use version 22 or higher
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
    ...
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.wnafee:vector-compat:1.0.5'
    ...
}

And create a custom ImageView class that uses vector compat class -

public class SvgImageView extends ImageView {        
    private Drawable icon;


    public SvgImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
                R.styleable.button_left, 0, 0);

        try {
            int resId = ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.button_left_b_icon, -1);            
            if (resId != -1) {
                icon = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(this.getContext(), resId);

            }


        } finally {
            ta.recycle();
        }


        if (icon != null) {
            setImage(icon);
        }

    }   

    public void setImage(Drawable icon) {
        SvgImageView.this.setImageDrawable(icon);

    }



}
