Starting Android API 24, custom Drawables classes can be used in XML only within your package.

Custom drawables classes may be used in XML in multiple ways:

Using drawable as the XML element name and specifying the fully-qualified class name from the class attribute. This method may be used for both public top-level classes and public static inner classes.

Note: that is not supported by support library.
