I have made a logo ic_launcher.xml for my android application using "New Vector Asset" and copying the vector paths from the asset into the ic_launcher_background.xml
The logo that resulted is too big and cropped. In android I see only the central part, with sides, top and bottom cut off.
I would like for the vector to be smaller so it would be visible whole in the logo.
I have tried changing these values:
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0"
This resulted in the logo either being even bigger with more cropped out, or smaller, but not centered.
These are the paths for the vector:
<path
android:name="light_triangle"
android:fillColor="#color/colorAccent"
android:pathData="M 0,0 L 100,0 0,100 z" />
<path
android:fillColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:pathData="M5,13.18v4L12,21l7,-3.82v-4L12,17l-7,-3.82zM12,3L1,9l11,6 9,-4.91V17h2V9L12,3z"/>
I would like for the logo to be smaller and centered. Can I somehow move the vector after making it smaller by changing height and width, or do I have to make new vector asset that is somehow smaller and centered?
UPDATE:
I have found what has to be done. I put the vectors inside a group like this:
<group android:scaleY="0.7" android:scaleX="0.7" android:pivotY="10" android:pivotX="10">
<path
android:fillColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:pathData="M5,13.18v4L12,21l7,-3.82v-4L12,17l-7,-3.82zM12,3L1,9l11,6 9,-4.91V17h2V9L12,3z"/>
</group>
Use vector image directly in AndroidManifest.xml file
android:icon="#drawable/work_mode"
Change the android:width and android:height values without changing the android:viewportWidth and android:viewportHeight. In this way :
android:width="16dp"
android:height="16dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0"

I was wondering how can I make toolbar like this
as you can see, there is an arc on the toolbar and it's archor the views to it , I tried to use an image for this , but it doesn't right I think and the result was bad
could you help me to do so ?
For the toolbar background use following drawable ,
<vector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="8dp"
android:viewportWidth="24.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0">
<path
android:fillColor="#3083af"
android:pathData="M24 24v-24h-24v24a20 36 0 0 1 24 0z"/>
</vector>
I know that the foreground and background layers should both be 108dp by 108dp. But as you can see in the image its not displayed correctly (icon next to the YouTube icon)
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here is the forground layer
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</vector>
and the background layer which is a white square
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="108dp"
android:height="108dp"

<path

</vector>
Per the Designing Adaptive Icons blog post:
Adaptive icons are 108dp*108dp in size but are masked to a maximum of 72dp*72dp. Different devices can supply different masks which must be convex in shape and may reach a minimum of 33dp from the center in places.
Because of the minimum reach of the mask, you can consider a centered 66dp diameter circle as a safe zone, guaranteed not to be clipped.
Your vector icon is using the entire 108x108dp size, rather than only the safe 66x66dp zone in the middle. Therefore what you are seeing is just the center of your icon (those two little white spots are actually the background peeking through).
You should resize your vector asset to fit into the safe zone. One way to do this is to increase the viewportHeight and viewportWidth, then put your paths into a <group> that uses android:translateX and android:translateY to recenter the vector in the larger viewport:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="108dp"
android:height="108dp"
android:viewportHeight="1024"
android:viewportWidth="1024">
<group
android:translateX="256"
android:translateY="256">

</group>
</vector>
Or you can rewrite your paths manually.
I want to set the color code in vector drawable from colors.xml file of res folder.
You can simply use
android:fillColor="#color/colorRated"
But it may not work for some low android version device. Thats why usually i use direct xml color.
android:fillColor="#9ec8e6"
So, finally it looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:viewportWidth="24"
android:viewportHeight="24"
android:width="48dp"
android:height="48dp">
<path
android:pathData="M23.7 12A11.7 11.7 0 0 1 12 23.7 11.7 11.7 0 0 1 0.30000019 12 11.7 11.7 0 0 1 12 0.30000019 11.7 11.7 0 0 1 23.7 12Z"
android:fillColor="#9ec8e6" />
</vector>
Pro-grammatically,
DrawableCompat.setTint(myImageView.getDrawable(), ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_color));
or through xml use fillColor
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportHeight="24"
android:viewportWidth="24">
<path
android:fillColor="#color/your_color"
android:pathData="M21,7L9,19L3.5,13.5L4.91,12.09L9,16.17L19.59,5.59L21,7Z" />
Note: Use hard-coded color(i.e #000) instead of, #color/your_color as sometimes, they don't work on lower devices.
You need to use android:tint="#color/some_color" in order to fill the color on vector drawable
Lets assume you have a ImageView where you want to use the vector, you can do something like that
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/bg_vector"
android:tint="#color/some_color"/>
I'm trying to import some icons from Material Vector package in Vector Asset Studio.
But they come with padding.
Why does this happen and how can I remove it?
This is inconvenient because this means if I want my icon to be 17dp x 17dp in XML, then I need to set it more than 17x17 to make up for the padding.
Android Vector Asset
You are able to scale a vector that will remove additional space. This is possible using group tag. Just modify your vector xml file.
From
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportHeight="24.0"
android:viewportWidth="24.0">
<path
android:fillColor="#FF000000"
android:pathData="M12,4l-1.41,1.41L16.17,11H4v2h12.17l-5.58,5.59L12,20l8,-8z" />
</vector>
to
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="24dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportHeight="24.0"
android:viewportWidth="24.0">
<group
android:pivotX="12"
android:pivotY="12"
android:scaleX="1.5"
android:scaleY="1.5">
<path
android:fillColor="#FF000000"
android:pathData="M12,4l-1.41,1.41L16.17,11H4v2h12.17l-5.58,5.59L12,20l8,-8z" />
</group>
</vector>
As result
You can adjust for any "implicit" padding that may be contained within a VectorDrawables source image (.SVG, .PSD) by setting your ImageViews android:scaleType to the appropriate value so it can handle the padding that is secretly contained in the VectorDrawables source image. You will also need to set android:adjustViewBounds="true".
For example, lets say your VectorDrawable has some really annoying padding at the start of the image when you display it. You have no idea why it's there because you aren't setting any android:paddingStart on the ImageView... what you need to do is set the ImageViews android:scaleType to fitStart and android:adjustViewBounds to true.
tl;dr
Adjust your ImageViews android:scaleType to handle any "implicit" padding that is contained in your VectorDrawables source file (.SVG, .PSD). Also set android:adjustViewBounds="true".
Quick Example:
<ImageView android:id="#+id/vectorDrawable_imageView"
<!--Other ImageView settings-->
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/vector_with_implicit_padding_at_start"
/>
This will remove that annoying "implicit" padding that was at the start of your VectorDrawable.
Note: Adjust the android:scaleType according to your rendering needs.
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:height="24dp"

</group>
</vector>
android:viewportWidth += android:translateX * 2 (padding start / end)
android:viewportHeight += android:translateY * 2 (padding top / bottom)
This padding is on some icons so that all of the icons can align properly. For example, if in that dialog, you pick ic_3d_rotation_24dp, you'll see the icon goes all the way to the edge of the bounds.
PS if you aim to have all your sizes be a multiple of 8dp, things will line up nicely and look great.
