Finally i found solution. I don't know what going on but i have same problem and fixed when i download same svg again and open it with notepad++ and export it with different name as svg! and it's work!

If you use flat icon for download svg, before download just click on edit and then download! this svg work fine in android studio.

This just a bug in android studio

EDIT 2

There is another bug in decimal numbers in svg viewBox that can be fixed by change decimal to integer (thanks to crgarrido)

Sample :

Change decimal numbers to integers numbers in svg file header

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 375 135.4">

Change 135.4 to 135

Answer 2

The problem is your SVG file. You must set the page measure to be in pixels.

With Inkscape, in Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + D to open the Document Properties. Set the size units to pixels (px).

Hope it helps. Let me know if it worked.

Answer 3

Hi you have to convert all float number to integer. for example open .svg file in text editor

 width="292.362px" height="292.362px" viewBox="0 0 292.362 292.362" style="enable-background:new 0 0 292.362 292.362;"

change to

width="292px" height="292px" viewBox="0 0 292 292" style="enable-background:new 0 0 292 292;"

Answer 4

I had this error too, and I think I got an answer.

When you "Add a Vector Asset" in your project, Android Studio creates a .xml file in res/drawable folder.

So I found this website : http://a-student.github.io/SvgToVectorDrawableConverter.Web/

You just have to drop your .svg file in the box and wait a few seconds.

Then, just right click on drawable folder in Android Studio, New -> Drawable resource file, set the icon name, etc... And you finally replace the content by the xml code the website gave you.

Save the file, and your icon is ready to go !
