From, Android developer site

This library is now a dependency of the v7 AppCompat library, allowing developers and AppCompat to easily use vector drawables.

To use VectorDrawableCompat within an ImageButton or ImageView, use the app:srcCompat XML attribute or setImageResource() method.

To keep referencing attribute IDs on API level 20 or lower, add the following appt flag to your build,gradle file:

If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 1.5.0 or lower, add the following to your build.gradle file:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    // Stops the Gradle’s automatic rasterization of vectors
    generatedDensities = []
  }
   // Flag that tells aapt to keep the attribute ids
  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
}

If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.0.0 or higher, add the following to your build.gradle file:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
  }
}
