SVG file warning message in Android Studio editor

Question

I'm using Android Studio 2.0 with SVG2VectorDrawable:

If I open a svg file for edit from the \RAW resource folder, the file i underlined with the red color and a warning message "element svg must be declared" is shown as below:

What can I do to solve this problem?

I'm using the SVG plugin only for the editor extension that allows the correct viewing of the SVG XML format

This is the svg file content:

Answer 1

As described in the following links you can't use .svg files directly in your project. They first need to be converted into corresponding xml file . To do that you can use Vector Asset Studio. Here are those links

Svg in Android Studio

and

Importing svg file in Android Studio

If you are missing jar files required for it you can get it from here alongwith the tutorial also

SVG Integration in Android

UPDATE

I now understood the real problem for this error. This error occurs when you directly copy the svg file into your project. To be able to use svg properly, you need to import it as a vector asset.
