What I did ?

Firstly, I added dependency to gradle:

compile 'com.caverock:androidsvg:1.2.1'

Secondly, I changed ImageView to com.caverock.androidsvg.SVGImageView

<com.caverock.androidsvg.SVGImageView
        android:id="@+id/recentlyViewed_imgView"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        svgimageview:svg="clock.svg"
        />

After that I added xmls:svgimageview to root layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:svgimageview="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/rowItem"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#272727"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:orientation="vertical">

This clock.svg is in the assets folder.

In new Android Studio there is possibility to import SVG to XML file, so you don't need to use external library.

In drawable right click -> New -> Vector Asset -> Local SVG file.

Then You use it normally as other drawables:

android:src="@drawable/btn_image"
