I know this is old, but I had the same issue... You gotta convert the Vector to a BitmapDrawable before adding to the TransitionDrawable. Here's an example

            TransitionDrawable td = new TransitionDrawable(new Drawable[]{
                    getBitmapDrawableFromVectorDrawable(this, R.drawable.vector1),
                    getBitmapDrawableFromVectorDrawable(this, R.drawable.vector2)
            });
            td.setCrossFadeEnabled(true); // probably want this

            // set as checkbox button drawable...

Utility Methods // see https://stackoverflow.com/a/38244327/114549

public static BitmapDrawable getBitmapDrawableFromVectorDrawable(Context context, int drawableId) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        return (BitmapDrawable) ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, drawableId);
    }
    return new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), getBitmapFromVectorDrawable(context, drawableId));
}

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromVectorDrawable(Context context, int drawableId) {
    Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, drawableId);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        drawable = (DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable)).mutate();
    }

    Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(),
            drawable.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    drawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
    drawable.draw(canvas);

    return bitmap;
}
