How to create a vector drawable with inner path transparent?

Question

I am trying to create a favourite icon something like the following icon.

While creating it i need the inner path (the area in blue color)to be transparent in the result.But while giving the transparent color it is showing the color that is filled in the outer path.i.e complete shape in orange color. How i can i make a vector drawable with transparent inner path

My vector drawable is

Answer 1

You have two ways to go: 1) create another vector drawable, which will draw only the outer line, instead of overlapping two hearts or 2) remove the orange heart and add an orange stroke to the blue heart. Just copy the code below and try it. Be aware: half of the stroke width will go inside the image and half will go outside, so your image will differ a bit (stoke will be closer to the center of the image)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="72dp"
    android:height="66dp"
    android:viewportHeight="66"
    android:viewportWidth="72">
    <path
        android:fillColor="#00000000"
        android:strokeColor="#F7592B"
        android:strokeWidth="6"
        android:pathData="M 19.98 7.14 C 25.68 7.39 30.87 12.07 36.10 12.99 C 41.30 12.15 46.97 7.14 52.84
        7.35 C 58.72 7.85 63.41 12.52 64.67 18.17 C 65.71 23.40 65.21 29.32 63.25 34.30
        C 59.83 42.88 52.20 49.81 44.38 54.43 C 40.52 56.53 36.81 58.58 32.37 56.70 C
        24.56 53.51 17.02 47.75 12.20 40.77 C 7.31 33.87 5.58 24.79 7.64 16.59 C 9.15
        11.09 14.21 6.98 19.98 7.14 Z" />
</vector>
