AppCompat 23.3 Support Vectors no longer work?

Question

I was using the support vector drawables added in Support Library 23.2 along with AppCompat. I was using vector drawables both with app:srcCompat and inside a <

Answer 1

To use vectors as compoundDrawables ( ex. for textview ) without using

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);

which leads to documented high memory usage, just inflate the vector using

Drawable drawable = AppCompatResources.getDrawable( getContext(), R.drawable.vector_resID );
if( drawable != null ) drawable.setBounds( 0, 0, iconSize, iconSize );
TextViewCompat.setCompoundDrawablesRelative( textView, null, null, drawable, null);

This is the way the navDrawer works
