Support library VectorDrawable Resources$NotFoundException

Question

I am using Design Support Library version 23.4.0. I have enabled the gradle flag:

defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = tr         


        

Answer 1

In my particular case, I had this problem because I was using a drawable selector as the image resource with several vectors in the selector, as in:

    
    
    .
    .
    etc

Yes, pretty bad, but didn't know better at the time.

So, the right way of doing this is using the tint property in your vector file, as in:

(You can also use the app:tint attribute in the AppCompatImageView)

And now, your vector_color_selector file should have the colors you want, as in:

    
    
    .
    .
    etc

I hope this helps someone if previous answers didn't work for you. Stating the obvious, but I must say that you still need to set vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true in gradle, use AppCompatImageView and use app:srcCompat or setImageDrawable + AppCompatResources.getDrawable to avoid any troubles with the vector compat library.
