Android api 21 app crash because of vector assets

745 views Asked by At


I'm using svg format icons in my app. my application's minimum API level is 21 and target is 24. I knew that I can convert svg format icons into usual android vectors by android studio's "Vector asset" tool. ( which is accessible if you right-click on res/drawable directory -> new -> vector asset. )
Created vectors by this approach result well in android api higher than 21. but it causes app crashing in android 5 devices. though in google's documentation on vector assets it is said that vector assets are supported on api level 21 and higher.

Is there any idea that what can I do with this?

here's a sample of errors while app is trying to inflate an activity/fragment xml and a vector asset causes the crash:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #26: Error inflating class ImageView
