SVG Android Exception

Question

I have met problems dealing with the SVG-android library. In my main activity I want to display the SVG object on the imageview however, i am facing this error.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.example.androidsvgdemo/com.example.androidsvgdemo.MainActivity}:
com.larvalabs.svgandroid.SVGParseException: 
org.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser$ParseException: At line 1, column 0: not well-formed (invalid token)

My codes are as follows:

package com.example.androidsvgdemo;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;

import com.larvalabs.svgandroid.SVG;
import com.larvalabs.svgandroid.SVGParser;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.app.Activity;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    ImageView imageView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.img1);
        //Parse the SVG file from the resource
        SVG svg = SVGParser.getSVGFromResource(getResources(), R.raw.imageandroid);
        //Get a drawable from the parsed SVG and apply to ImageView
        imageView.setImageDrawable(svg.createPictureDrawable());

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

Please advice. Thank you.

The error indicates that the SVG file is malformed XML... You'll need to edit it with Inkskape and save it again. This should repare your SVG file.
