VectorDrawableCompat Resources$NotFoundException on KitKat and below

Question

When I enable

vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

I get a lot of resourceNotFoundExceptions on KitKat and below devices. I get this for NavigationView for Menus and also for ImageViews with app:srcCompat

Are you using support library v23.2.0? and your build.gradle has the modifications suggested by the docs (and can be found in this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/35624744/4860513)? — guipivoto, Mar 03 '16 at 16:16
Are you using vector drawable? If yes, check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34020222/android-content-res-resourcesnotfoundexception-for-ic-sync-black-24dp-xml — JJ86, Mar 08 '16 at 09:37

To support versions before Lollipop, use

com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0 (or later)

support library.

And then, instead of

ContextCompat.getDrawable(view.getContext(), id);

use this one

AppCompatResources.getDrawable(view.getContext(), id);

Note: AppCompatDrawableManager is a private API so this could be broken at any point. See: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=216903#c13 – Nic Robertson Oct 27 '16 at 02:05
I got same issue, Then I found that support library was updated and it is not mentioned any where.... Through android developer bugs list I figured out... – Rakshith Kumar Jan 06 '17 at 09:14

I was able to use the vector drawables on pre-Lollipop devices by wrapping them in a StateListDrawable (a selector).

More precisely, I created a selector drawable in XML, and then added a single vector drawable in them :

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

I then use this "wrapped" drawable in my menu. If you want more information about how it works, check out this very useful post by Chris Banes.

To fix this issue, I had to add the following code at the application startup (Application subclass) :

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);

In addition to :

Use app:srcCompat in layout definition (ImageButton view in my case) instead of android:src.
Activate in gradle : vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

as far as I've read on the docs there's only XML access for ImageView.

For the Menu you'll have to use in java.

toolbar.inflateMenu(menuResId);
toolbar.getMenu()
       .findItem(menuItemId)
       .setIcon(VectorDrawableCompat
                       .createFromResource(resource, drawableId);

I also saw nothing on the docs - but as this is basically drawn by appcompat I was wondering if there is some automatism under the hood I am not aware of - menu-items are a big use-case for VectorDrawables - adding this workaround makes the code ugly – ligi Mar 03 '16 at 22:28
hm - @chrisbanes states in the comments of his blog-post "Menu items work fine. How are you trying to use it with preferences?" – ligi Mar 03 '16 at 22:39
I did not have to add this and my menu items just worked out of the box with no XML change. I'm using 23.0.4 of the support library. – boltup_im_coding Sep 04 '16 at 09:19

If you are using vectorDrawableComapt and setting it in XML remember to do it the correct way:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_add"

This is related only to `ImageView` not XML in general as you refer. – skywall Jun 16 '17 at 12:33

I faced same issue but after some hour of wasting solved the issue

Remove drawables make sure just have drawable
In build.gradle use

defaultConfig {vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true}
1. Make set vector drawable to ImageView as below
  <ImageView android:id="@+id/ivLogo" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/your_selector" app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_your_vector_logo" />
2. Your activity must extends AppCompatActiviity instead of Activity

I hope your problem solved.

For me, I was using style reference for solid color ?colorAccent for a shape. It crash on KitKat but not above. Updated to use actual color code and it goes away. <solid android:color="#7885cb" />

One issue could be the vector itself. One of my paths was like 4k characters long and although there was a warning I just ignored it. Although it was previewing fine, it would crash at run time.
