Answer 1

It seems that two new libraries, support-vector-drawable and support-animated-vector-drawable, are required, because appcompat-v7 uses vector drawables (Issue discussion). Just update your build.gradle with the following for adding in support for vector drawables and the problem with black icons will be solved.

build.gradle

Add following lines to your build gradle base on your gradle plugin version

// Gradle Plugin 2.0+

 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true  
    }  
 }   

// Gradle Plugin 1.5

 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     generatedDensities = []  
  }  

  // This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
 } 

UPDATE For AppCompat users, the flags for enabling support vector drawables described in the 23.2 blog post are no longer required for usage of AppCompat 23.2.1. However, you can still take advantage of the app:srcCompat attribute if you wish to use support vector drawables for your own resources.
