What is a vector in Android?

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.


wrap your path tags with group tag. then and add attribute scaleX, scaleY, pivotX and pivotY in group tag to create padding effect. like this:

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:width="48dp"
        android:height="48dp"
        android:alpha="0.6"
        android:viewportHeight="24.0"
        android:viewportWidth="24.0">
    <group
        android:scaleX="0.5"
        android:scaleY="0.5"
        android:pivotX="12"
        android:pivotY="12">
        <path
            android:fillColor="#FF000000"
            android:pathData="M3,4L3,1h2v3h3v2L5,6v3L3,9L3,6L0,6L0,4h3zM6,10L6,7h3L9,4h7l1.83,2L21,6c1.1,0 2,0.9 2,2v12c0,1.1 -0.9,2 -2,2L5,22c-1.1,0 -2,-0.9 -2,-2L3,10h3zM13,19c2.76,0 5,-2.24 5,-5s-2.24,-5 -5,-5 -5,2.24 -5,5 2.24,5 5,5zM9.8,14c0,1.77 1.43,3.2 3.2,3.2s3.2,-1.43 3.2,-3.2 -1.43,-3.2 -3.2,-3.2 -3.2,1.43 -3.2,3.2z"/>
    </group>

</vector>

*pivot values depends on size of width and height of your vector


Well scaleX and ScaleY works, but I found it difficult to align via android:pivotX and android:pivotY, so this is what I did:

Create a new xml drawable file, like this:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:top="15dp" android:left="15dp" android:right="15dp" android:bottom="15dp"
        android:drawable="@drawable/your_image_or_icon"/>
</layer-list>

Create a new drawable file, add a layer-list and wrap your vector image inside item block. like this:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
    android:bottom="10dp"
    android:left="10dp"
    android:right="10dp"
    android:top="10dp">
    <vector
        android:width="40dp"
        android:height="40dp"
        android:viewportWidth="512"
        android:viewportHeight="512">

    </vector>
</item>

inset can be used starting from API level-21

<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="16dp"
    android:insetTop="16dp"
    android:insetRight="16dp"
    android:insetBottom="16dp">

    <vector
        // ....... my vector
    </vector>

</inset>

Another option to cover APIs below level-21 to use with android:translateX & android:translateY.. And adjust a proper android:width & android:height of the vector.

To add padding to the right/bottom use negative values for android:translateX & android:translateY

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="40dp"
    android:height="40dp"
    android:viewportWidth="24"
    android:viewportHeight="24">

    <group android:translateX="-3" 
           android:translateY="2">

        <path
            android:fillColor="#B72B579A"
            android:pathData="M18,16.08c-0.76,0 -1.44,0.3 -1.96,0.77L8.91,12.7c0.05,-0.23 0.09,-0.46 0.09,-0.7s-0.04,-0.47 -0.09,-0.7l7.05,-4.11c0.54,0.5 1.25,0.81 2.04,0.81 1.66,0 3,-1.34 3,-3s-1.34,-3 -3,-3 -3,1.34 -3,3c0,0.24 0.04,0.47 0.09,0.7L8.04,9.81C7.5,9.31 6.79,9 6,9c-1.66,0 -3,1.34 -3,3s1.34,3 3,3c0.79,0 1.5,-0.31 2.04,-0.81l7.12,4.16c-0.05,0.21 -0.08,0.43 -0.08,0.65 0,1.61 1.31,2.92 2.92,2.92 1.61,0 2.92,-1.31 2.92,-2.92s-1.31,-2.92 -2.92,-2.92z" />
