This is driving me crazy. I just made some simple svg icons to replace png icons I had in my app (in an ImageView) (which I already did in another activity and it worked fine), and all of a sudden, the app keeps crashing with the following error on Android 8.0 but works fine on 7.0. All xml files are in the right drawable folder, and everything checks out, but it still crashes. I read on SO that I had to update the support library in the Gradle file, but if I do, it says I have to change the compileSdkVersion to match the support library version (which is going to make it incompatible with Android versions earlier than 8.0, right?)
EDIT: I just tried updating the support library and it still crashes.
EDIT 2: Only one of the three icons is making the app crash... it's getting weird
EDIT 3: I changed the icon to something else and now it works... So it's fine, but I'd still like to understand why Android 8 is incompatible with certain SVG icons made in the same software as other icons it works fine with.
Here's the error I get. Pls halp.
