File res/drawable/abc_ic_ab_back_material.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f020016 [duplicate]

Question

Recently android support library was updated to 23.2.0. After downloading android sdk and updating android design support library into 23.2.0, this error happens repeatedly. My project can't even be compiled. The complete error log says:

This error was thrown by setSupportActionBar(toolbar); whereas it didn't happen at 23.0.1 of android design library 23.2.0. Meanwhile according this log, I guessed this drawable was removed since android design library 23.2.0.

So, could someone told me why is this happening?

Answer 1

I think you need to make changes in your gradle.

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

You’ll note this new attribute only exists in the version 2.0 of the Gradle Plugin. If you are using Gradle 1.5 you’ll instead use

// Gradle Plugin 1.5  
 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     // Stops the Gradle plugin's automatic rasterization of vectors
     generatedDensities = []  
  }  
  // Flag to tell aapt to keep the attribute ids around
  // This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
 }  

I found similar question here.

See Support Vector Drawables and Animated Vector Drawables in Android Support Library update. I hope its help you.

Answer 2

As per as the documentation of Google's support library for 24.0.0, they have changed the vector drawable library to what it was before: Added AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled() method to re-enable usage of vector drawables in DrawableContainer objects on devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and lower. See AppCompat v23.2 — Age of the vectors! for more information.

I faced the same issue and my SVG statelist drawables used in my project were working just fine till Marshmallow devices.

Later when I got the crash for the same in Android N, I realized that the svgs were a bit corrupted and contained characters like: � and this caused the crash.

But these were not reflected in Android Marshmallow and prior devices.

Make sure your vector drawable doesn't contain any of those characters as the way of parsing has been changed from the library 24.0.0. So vector drawables working fine till Marshmallow might not work in Nougat devices.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

I solve this problem by updating my support library from

'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
'com.android.support:design:23.2.0'

to the same dependencies of 23.2.1.

When I met the problem, I had not made any changes in my module built by Android Studio.

So I was so confused then I tried to update android support library. After updating, please remember to sync your build.gradle
