Support XML vector drawables #28

Open schildbach opened 9 years ago

Vector drawables are basically a subset of SVG, but on Android 5+ they can be used directly, instead of bitmaps. It would be nice if I could use this plugin to generate a couple of fallback bitmaps for the older Android versions.

Will try but maybe later... The primary goal of this plugin is to generate drawable/mipmap for every density from a scalable vector graphic (svg)... VectorDrawable are actually already scalable so I doupt it needs to be added in this plugin or might be generated into drawable-v21

On API 21 and above, of course the vector drawables would be used directly. I was just looking for a way to generate the fallback PNG drawables for API 20 and below automatically and thought this project would fit.

Can look after VectorDrawableCompat

schildbach commented 9 years ago

VectorDrawableCompat is meant for runtime, and it's a pain to use. I'm looking for an easy solution at build time.

avianey commented 9 years ago

Have to see the spec. Should be easy to convert to svg using xslt...

I'm watching the "What’s new in Android Development Tools" talk from this year's Google I/O and guess what, at the 3 minute mark they announce just this feature (+ big applause). Now I'm looking for how to use it.
