Resources$NotFoundException while setting drawable as android:drawableLeft in textView in kitkat

Question

I'm getting an error in pre-lollipop devices. The drawable is vector drawable and I'm using many vector drawables in my app. Those vector drawable which has been set on ImageView's src or background, working fine. But setting drawableLeft with textview throws exception. Here is the stacktrace-
