Android Selector Drawable with VectorDrawables srcCompat

Question

I\'m facing a problem with the new backward compatibility with VectorDrawables. In the Support Library 23.2 was a new feature for backward compatibility with Android VectorD

Answer 1

After watching What's new in the support library - Google I/O 2016 I noticed one useful method in the AppCompatResources class. This is AppCompatResources#getColorStateList(Context context, int resId). With a help of this method I've implemented selector with vector drawables. Here is my color selector file icon_selector:

And there is java method that returns tinted drawable:

private Drawable getTintedDrawable(@DrawableRes int drawableId) {
    Drawable drawable;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        drawable = getResources().getDrawable(drawableId, getTheme());
    } else {
        drawable = getResources().getDrawable(drawableId);
    }
    drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
    DrawableCompat.setTintList(drawable.mutate(), AppCompatResources.getColorStateList(this, R.color.selector_nav_bar_item_ico));
    return drawable;
}

You can use it like shown below

yourImageView.setImageDrawable(getTintedDrawable(R.drawable.ic_vector_image));
