This is driving me crazy. I would like to be able to resize an xml vector drawable icon programmatically in order to use it in an ImageView.
This is what I've done so far which is not working
Drawable drawable = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_marker,null);
drawable.setBounds(0,0,512,512);
imageVenue.setImageDrawable(drawable);
The vector icon ic_marker is not resized. It just keeps the hardcoded width and height values every time.
Any ideas?

VectorDrawable jDrawable = (VectorDrawable) getContext(). getDrawable(nResourceID); // resize the icon jDrawable. setBounds(30, 30, 30, 30); // set the icon in the button view button. setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(jDrawable, null, null, null);
The drawback is that they might take longer to draw, etc since there's more of parsing and drawing going on than just using a bitmap. This should although be neglectable if you keep your vectors simple.
Android Studio includes a tool called Vector Asset Studio that helps you add material icons and import Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) and Adobe Photoshop Document (PSD) files into your project as vector drawable resources.
A VectorDrawable is a vector graphic defined in an XML file as a set of points, lines, and curves along with its associated color information. The major advantage of using a vector drawable is image scalability.
You can change the width and height of your imageview programmatically. Since vector drawables will preserve the original quality of the image, this will make the desired output happen.
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgview);
int width = 60;
int height = 60;
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width,height);
iv.setLayoutParams(params);
