Is there a way to preview a vector drawable

Question

Short of building and installing my app, is there a way to preview a vector drawable xml file?

I've built it into a small test app in Android Studio, and can preview it as part of the layout file, but I was hoping for a simpler way.

Edit: here's what my drawable.xml file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:width="24dp"     android:height="24dp"     android:viewportWidth="24"     android:viewportHeight="24">      <group>         <path             android:fillColor="#f5a625"             android:strokeColor="#000000"             android:strokeWidth=".5"             android:pathData="M0,0l18,0l6,6l0,10l-24,0z" />     </group> </vector> 

Answer 1

There is a Preview tab especial for that at the right side (since Android Studio 2.0):

Answer 2

If the Preview window doesn't automatically show. You can manually show the Preview window by going to View -> Tool Windows -> Preview in Android Studio's menu.
