Converting SVG file to Android Vector Drawable XML while keeping the group structure in place

I want to convert SVG files to Android Vector Drawable XMLs. I need the structure of the SVG. To the extend that the SVG groups multiple elements together, I need that grouping to also be reflected in the Android Vector Drawable.

Unfortunately, the tools I found to do SVG to Vector Drawable conversions try to minimize the file size in a way that gets rid of existing grouping in the structure of the file.

Is there a smart way to do the conversion that leaves the grouping tree intact?

Are SVG vector files?

What is an SVG file? Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a web-friendly vector file format. As opposed to pixel-based raster files like JPEGs, vector files store images via mathematical formulas based on points and lines on a grid.

Update 2019: There is no need of using any external tool or Heck as pointed by older answers. Android Studio's Asset Studio allows to convert SVG/ PSD to vectors

  • Right click on app folder-> New Vector Asset
  • Select second option in radio button to create vector from local file as shown in below image.
  • Click on folder icon to load local SVG file and it will automatically convert that into vector:
