I've just moved to Android Studio 4.1 and it's now producing new crashes in my vector drawables when making my project.
I use theme attributes in my vectors and these seem to no longer be supported:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24"
android:viewportHeight="24">
<path
android:pathData="..."
android:fillColor="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:fillType="nonZero"/>
<path
android:pathData="..."
android:fillColor="?attr/colorOnPrimary"
android:fillType="nonZero"/>
</vector>

The release notes don't mention anything about this issue. How can I still use theme attributes in my vector drawables?
Cheers
It seems to be linked to the fact that my minSdkVersion
is 23 because I can see the following warning:
Resource references will not work correctly in images generated for this vector icon for API < 24; check generated icon to make sure it looks acceptable
and when I set it to 24 the build works.
I've been able to make things work with lower versions by using Nick Butcher's post on vector assets
Namely, using
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
and using app:srcCompat
instead of android:src
etc
Now (having also read through the docs) I'm still a bit confused about why it used to work but suddenly fails and which is the best way to get theming into vector assets; is it via the attributes, as above, or by changing the tint and which are the best rules to follow?
To configure your app to use vector support libraries, add the vectorDrawables element to your build. gradle file in the app module. To change drawables at runtime, you can use the setImageResource() method as before.
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.
In Android 5.0 (API Level 21) and above, you can define vector drawables, which scale without losing definition. Changing the width and height in the definition of the vector drawable to 200dp significantly improves the situation at the 400dp rendered size.
Try adding app:itemIconTint="@color/lime" to activity_main. xml to set a default color type for the widget icons.
I was also getting this (Android 2020.3.1 Arctic Fox), while trying to reference a custom theme attribute in my vector drawables. The actual problem seems to be related to on of my vector drawables' fillType being evenOdd, which according to this Medium post by Nick Butcher was added in SDK 24 (my min SDK is 21).
Removing the fillType attribute allowed me to reference my custom theme attribute without any compilation error.
