InflateException: Error inflating class ImageView for VectorDrawableCompat

Question

VectorDrawableCompat finally made its way into support library in SDK 23. But it doesn't seem to work, or maybe I'm missing something.

drawable/mypic.xml:

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:height="64dp"
android:width="64dp"
android:viewportHeight="600"
android:viewportWidth="600" >
<group
    android:name="rotationGroup"
    android:pivotX="300.0"
    android:pivotY="300.0"
    android:rotation="45.0" >
    <path
        android:name="v"
        android:fillColor="#000000"
        android:pathData="M300,70 l 0,-70 70,70 0,0 -70,70z" />
</group>
</vector>

fragment_bla.xml:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/mypic"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

</FrameLayout>

This code works in Lollipop, but not in KitKat. What am I missing?

Answer 1

I believe the problem is android:src="@drawable/mypic" in your imageView setup.

Change that to app:srcCompat="@drawable/mypic"

Then you should be good to go.
