Creating a VectorDrawable from an SVG file at runtime

Question

I want to create an VectorDrawable from a remote SVG file (ie a URL), within my app (not in Android Studio). After a bit of searching, I have yet to find a way to do this programmatically, is there even a way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Why do you need to do it this way? Can you describe your use case? Perhaps we can suggest an alternate solution to your original problem. — Paul LeBeau, Nov 02 '17 at 10:39

First yo need to download the resource like a file or InputStream class type.

After that, you must transform to a graphic class. To do that I found this library: Library tutorial

Good Luck!
