Using SVG in android selector for buttons

Question

I am using svg for icons for ImageView it can be given using app:srcCompat But when i want to use it for Buttons as selector the app crashes with resource not found exception for devices with api below 21

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_enabled" android:state_enabled="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/button_disabled" android:state_enabled="false" />
</selector>

Where button_enabled and button_disabled are both svg

Answer 1

I suggest you to follow the below steps :-

Step 1:

Right click on drawable folder -> select New -> select Vaector Assests

Step 2:

Select Local file svg now select the path of your svg image click on next you will have now the svg image in your drawable folder

do the same thing for svg images you want to use in your application

Now use the below code for selector buttons selector_button.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_check_circle" android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_build" android:state_focused="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_build" />
</selector>

I imported two svg 1st ic_check_circle and 2nd ic_build you can replace as per your needs.

In your imageView use below line

app:srcCompat="@drawable/selector_button"
