Unable to add drawable start with SVG to TextView for Android API lowers that 21

Question

I'm trying to use drawable in textView like this

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/svg_ic_profile_logout"
    android:drawablePadding="20dp"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/svg_ic_profile_logout"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:onClick="@{viewModel.onLogoutClick}"
    android:text="@string/profile_logout"/>

but the icon I using is SVG, it works perfectly fine for API > 21 but got a crash for API level lower than 21.

Answer 1

Add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true in you app level build.gradle as follows:

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

Refer to this guide.
