File res/drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_material.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f020016

Question

Recently android support library was updated to 23.2.0. After downloading android sdk and updating android design support library into 23.2.0, this error happens repeatedly. My project can't even be compiled. The complete error log says:

This error was thrown by setSupportActionBar(toolbar); whereas it didn't happen at 23.0.1 of android design library 23.2.0. Meanwhile according this log, I guessed this drawable was removed since android design library 23.2.0.

So, could someone told me why is this happening?

Answer 1

I think you need to make changes in your gradle.

// Gradle Plugin 2.0+  
 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true  
    }  
 }  

You’ll note this new attribute only exists in the version 2.0 of the Gradle Plugin. If you are using Gradle 1.5 you’ll instead use

// Gradle Plugin 1.5  
 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     // Stops the Gradle plugin's automatic rasterization of vectors
     generatedDensities = []  
  }  
  // Flag to tell aapt to keep the attribute ids around
  // This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
 }  

I found similar question here.

See Support Vector Drawables and Animated Vector Drawables in Android Support Library update. I hope its help you.
