Seems that the issue lay with API 21, the 24.0dp that was mentioned did not solve the issue for me instead I was receiving:

E/PathParser: error in parsing "c-3.31 0,-6,-2.69,-6,-6 0,-1.01.25,-1.97.7,-2.8"

I found the answer at https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/issues/225

It turns out the pathData is invalid cannot be parsed in API 21 properly (the problem does not exist in API 22 or 23). Simply replace the pathData with:

Answer 3

The problem may be your setting for you "Target SDK". Default behaviour may be setting Android 6. Set it for Android 5.0.1 (21), and ensure you have downloaded the SDK from the SDK Manager. You've probably created the settings activity using the wizard before doing this, so you should delete the settings activity, make sure you have the appropriate SDK and project settings, and re-create it.
