Android invalid color state list tag gradient

I've an app with over 5000 downloads and more than 500 users active daily and out of nowhere I started get an weird error on Crashlytics:

The stack trace is way longer than this, more than 500 lines on Crashlytics, I pasted here what I thought might be useful to understand the problem.
If I got it right it is complaining like one of my resources is missing or corrupted; what could it be?
But the resource is intact in the apk:

The drawable is a very small and simple icon for a button in the app, I downloaded it from a icon library it opens and run fine on all my tests.
The second weird thing about this is that over 500 active users I had today this is happening only with 4 users all with the same smartphone:
Device
Brand: LGE
Model: LG K10 LTE
Orientation: Portrait
RAM free: 170.92 MB
Disk free: 574.64 MB
Operating System
Version: 6.0
Orientation: Portrait
Rooted: No
Crash
Is there any know issue about this smartphone model? What can I do in order to fix this for the affected users?

This is because you use a few attributes not supported prior to API level 24.
eg. startX, endX, startY, endY and offset.
Android Marshmallow 6.0 is API level 23 ...
That invalid color state list tag gradient is coming from the offset:
<item android:color="#FF2AF598" android:offset="0"/>
<item android:color="#FF009EFD" android:offset="1"/>
This issue most likely isn't LG specific, but Marshmallow specific.

Use app:srcCompat instead of src on the ImageView
In your app build.gradle write below code :
android.defaultConfig.vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
defaultConfig {
...
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
...
}
Now you see it works.

The actual problem is with attributes you are defining like android:fillColor
which expects to be a single value color and not a list of colors like gradient or color list. It works from API 24. My suggestion is to tell your designer to create exact logo for below 24 API
Refer to the link for more details

Instead of using .xml to set the image resource, just set the image resource programmatically from your java code.

Faced this issue in Android API 21-23 with the vector drawable. By using this, now its fixed
app:drawableStartCompat="#drawable/ic_placeholder"
and by programmatically:
Drawable img = button.getContext().getResources().getDrawable(
R.drawable.ic_brush );
button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( img, null, null, null);

Support library VectorDrawable Resources$NotFoundException

I am using Design Support Library version 23.4.0. I have enabled the gradle flag:
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
I am using build tools version 23.0.2, but still, I am getting Resources$NotFoundException on KitKat or lower.
It is occurring when I use android:drawableLeft or imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.drawable_image).
And yes, I am putting this on every activity where I am using drawables
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
Is this a bug of the support library?

It took 3 separate things for me to get this to work using support library 23.4.0:
Add this to build.gradle
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
Add the following to onCreate of your Application class
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
(From the reference of this link - "https://stackoverflow.com/a/45582033/10752962")
In API less then 21,use this line before setContentView();
For all XML views in which you are setting a vector drawable replace
android:src
with
app:srcCompat
and in the code replace this:
imageView.setImageResource(...);
with
imageView.setImageDrawable(...);

To complement some of the answers here: backward-compatible support for VectorDrawables comes with a price and doesn't work in all cases.
In which cases does it work? I've made this diagram to help (valid for Support Library 23.4.0 to at least 25.1.0).

Try using:
imageView.setImageDrawable(VectorDrawableCompat.create(getResources(), drawableRes, null));
You don't have to add AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
this way.
Just inflate your vector drawables using VectorDrawableCompat and you're all set.

We had the same issue. Vector drawables were not visible on Kitkat. I solved this issue by adding AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); to the onCreate method of Activities.
Before that dont forget to add:
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
and call setImageResource for the view that you use the vector drawable. My view is ImageButton. I have Android SDK build tools version 23.0.3

Sorry for being late to the party but this answer may help users who want to enable the flag AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); for all activities.
1. Create a class which extends to Application (android.app.Application)
public class MyApplicationClass extends Application
{
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
}
}
2. Head over to Manifest.xml and add the following line to your tag
<application
android:name=".MyApplicationClass"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
...
</application>
3. Add the following code above onCreate in MyApplicationClass.java
// This flag should be set to true to enable VectorDrawable support for API < 21
static
{
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
Complete code for MyApplicationClass.java
import android.app.Application;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegate;
/**
* Created by Gaurav Lonkar on 23-Dec-17.
*/
public class MyApplicationClass extends Application
{
// This flag should be set to true to enable VectorDrawable support for API < 21
static
{
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
}
}

defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
use this in app.gradle
Then use AppCompatDrawableManager to setDrawable and getDrawable. Works for me

Support for vector drawables in places like android:drawableLeft was disabled in support library 23.3. It was announced on Google+:
we’ve decided to remove the functionality which let you use vector
drawables from resources on pre-Lollipop devices due to issues found
in the implementation in version 23.2.0/23.2.1. Using app:srcCompat and setImageResource()
continues to work.
Links to issues:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=205236
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=204708
However, if you can live with those issues, in 23.4 you can re-enable this functionality using AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled().
If you're curious how this works, the best person to learn from is Chris Banes, who authored this functionality. He explains in detail on his blog.

change
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.drawable_image)
to
imageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.drawable_image));
if you want to use vectordrawable in xml, use this:
app:srcCompat="#drawable/drawable_image"

I had a similar problem long ago, it did not work by setting
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
only worked when I created the "mipmap" folder, and the code used
imageView.setImageResource (R.mipmap.drawable_image)
It has more Info here

Inflating Drawable's
`VectorDrawable` and `AnimatedVectorDrawable` in this support library can be inflated in this way:
Calling static getDrawable() methods:
//This will only inflate a drawable with <vector> as the root element
VectorDrawable.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_arrow_vector);
//This will only inflate a drawable with <animated-vector> as the root element
AnimatedVectorDrawable.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_arrow_to_menu_animated_vector);
// This will inflate any drawable and will auto-fallback to the lollipop implementation on api 21+ devices
ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.any_drawable);
If inflating the Drawable in java code, it is recommended to always use ResourcesCompat.getDrawable() as this handles Lollipop fallback when applicable. This allows the system to cache Drawable ConstantState and hence is more efficient.
The library has the following morph (bi-directional) animations :
Play-Pause morph animation
Play-Stop morph animation
Arrow-Hamburger menu morph animation
As you can see, I produced the above image on my API 16 phone:
import com.wnafee.vector.compat.AnimatedVectorDrawable;
mdrawable = (AnimatedVectorDrawable) AnimatedVectorDrawable.getDrawable(this.getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.consolidated_animated_vector);
Look at the github README for vector-compat here: https://github.com/wnafee/vector-compat
This will fix your problem (down to API 14) if you merge it with your app module's build.gradle dependencies (usually at the end of file):
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
//Trying to FIX Binary XML file line #2: invalid drawable tag animated-vector
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
//not needed
// compile 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.0.0'

// Failed to resolve: com.android.support:support-animated-vector-drawable:25.0.0
//not needed
// compile 'com.android.support:support-animated-vector-drawable:25.0.0'
}

Do not put your vectors in drawable-anydpi
, old devices does not support that
put them in drawable

In my particular case, I had this problem because I was using a drawable selector as the image resource with several vectors in the selector, as in:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#drawable/vector_select_blue"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/vector_select_black"/>
.
.
etc
</selector>
Yes, pretty bad, but didn't know better at the time.
So, the right way of doing this is using the tint property in your vector file, as in:
<vector ..vector properties..
android:tint="#color/vector_color_selector">
<path ..path properties../>
</vector>
(You can also use the app:tint attribute in the AppCompatImageView)
And now, your vector_color_selector file should have the colors you want, as in:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true" android:color="#color/blue"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#color/black"/>
.
.
etc
</selector>
I hope this helps someone if previous answers didn't work for you. Stating the obvious, but I must say that you still need to set vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true in gradle, use AppCompatImageView and use app:srcCompat or setImageDrawable + AppCompatResources.getDrawable to avoid any troubles with the vector compat library.

Use AppCompatImageView instead of ImageView as said by Harish Gyanani in comments , it works fine with this for me.
Official docs

I had the same problem and actually what was missing is I was using app:srcCompat on AppCompatTextView except of AppCompatImageView.
The way I have found the problematic part:
My error looks like:
Fatal Exception: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException
Resource ID #0x7f0700d1
Here are the steps I followed the resource id of the mentioned drawable :
APK Analyzer -> classesXXX.dex
In this dex file I opened the directory of my apps package name and went to R$drawable file
R$drawable -> Show as byte code.
Search for ID [0x7f0700d1] (check your own ID)
Find the image and check for all the usages (CMD + F7) of the resource
Fix
Hope it will help somebody.

Android VectorDrawable as Compound Drawables

As of stated by this android developer blog post, we can now use VectorDrawables on Android API 7+ using the AppCompat 23.2.0 and later versions.
Everything seems to work fine for me, except when it comes to use drawables as a compound to a TextView.
Normally, one would do something like:
customTab.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
0,
R.drawable.my_vector,
0,
0
);
Unfortunately this is not working at the moment, and I wasn't able to find a workaround for this problem.
As of stated by the post, the only available and working methods are the xml one, using app:srcCompat="#drawable/..." and the Java setImageResource(...)
How can I use the new vector drawable support with the setCompoundDrawable() method?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
as requested, here's the result of the VectorDrawableCompat class:

Starting from support library 23.2 you can use the next solution:
Drawable drawable=AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(mContext, R.drawable.drawable);
view.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, drawable, null, null);

Following the precious suggestions given by #pskink I was able to load correctly a drawable inside my view.
My problem was the selector I was using as my xml to give the "current active tab" feedback in my TabLayout.
I've solved my problem by doing a cast:
Drawable drawable;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, tabIcons[i]);
} else {
drawable = getResources().getDrawable(tabIcons[i]);
}
StateListDrawable stateListDrawable = (StateListDrawable) drawable;
customTab.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
null,
stateListDrawable,
null,
null
);

You can solve it by data-binding also:
create adapter method
public class Bindings {
#BindingAdapter({"bind:drawableStartId"})
public static void setDrawableStart(TextView textView, #DrawableRes int id) {
Drawable drawable = AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(textView.getContext(), id);
Drawable drawables[] = textView.getCompoundDrawablesRelative();
textView.setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(drawable, drawables[1], drawables[2], drawables[3]);
}
}
and use app:drawableStartId in your xml file.
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<data>
<import type="your.path.to.R" />
</data>
<TextView
app:drawableStartId="#{isSelected ? R.drawable.one :R.drawable.another}"
/>
<layout/>

Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)?

I have a textview, when it is clicked, I am populating a listView inside a dialog. This code used to work fine, but today it is throwing exception.
this is my code:
tvSelectedFont = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblQuoteSelectedFont);
tvSelectedFont.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ListView listView = new ListView(context);
listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
new String[] {"Default", "Serif", "Monospace"}));
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
dialog.setContentView(listView);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.txt_settings_QuotefontName);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String selectedTypeFace = ((TextView)view).getText().toString();
tvSelectedFont.setText(selectedTypeFace);
switch(selectedTypeFace)
{
case "Serif":
selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.SERIF;
break;
case "Monospace":
selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.MONOSPACE;
break;
default:
selectedQuoteTypeFace = Typeface.DEFAULT;
break;
}
tvQuoteTextSample.setTypeface(selectedQuoteTypeFace, selectedQuoteFontStyle);
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
});
The logcat error shows this:

Cant figure it out the problem. Any help please?

I encountered this problem in the recent app I made. In my case, the problem was I put an image in the folder called drawable-v21, which is not available in older android API.
The solution is to put your drawable in drawable-...dpi folders too.

In Android Studio change Project hierarchy to Project Files.
Then go to the res folder, you will see multiple drawable folders. Copy the images to appropriate folder(drawable) or based on Api level.
In my case image was present in drawable-24 folder therefore it was not available on api<24 devices.

On the Mac in finder, I just simply moved all the files in the folder ../drawable/drawable-24 to /drawable and everything worked both on older android versions and Oreo. Also when you copy and paste the images into Android Studio make sure to paste them into drawable not drawable//drawable-24 which may be the default.

I figured it out, it was not an issue with the code, but the theme. I recently changed the theme from android:theme="#style/AppTheme"to android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar" after that the problem started. I reverted back the old AppTheme thene it started working again. It seems that the NoActionBar theme was not compatible for dialog boxes.

I ran into this error in a different situation, and it turned out that I'd accidentally set a drawable to R.id.something instead of R.drawable.something!

Make sure you followed the above solutions, try this if non-of-them worked for you.
In my case, the problem was due to drawable icons in only hdpi image resolution. Change these icons to the folder, which contains xhdpi, mdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi resolution also.
And that solved my problem.
PS:
I convert icons to different image resolution by installing plugin "Android drawable importer".

Maybe your view background resource not in drawable dir, in color. view background not support resource in color.
view background like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#ffffffff"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_selected="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#00000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>

You can get it working by making sure that your drawable.xml not included (v24)

<ImageView
...
android:src="#drawable/realtconsult" />
If you will write it from a view then this will works.

There are more than one folder included in drawable folders(not visible), if you get these kind of error then please copy paste the file on which error occured to all the directories or atleast copy paste to night and normal drwable folder
enter image description here

When you put an image into the drawable folder, by default they are -v24 named at the end.
If you are not sure, just drag and drop the image again into the drawable folder. Make sure the name is not -v24 at the end.
Solution for old APIs

move all your ic_xyz.xml folders to drawable (v24) ie select your folder which is having this issue and move it to or select---> refactor--->move file-->(change the path) to Drawable(v24).

svg-android imageview not working

I have a need to show svg files in my android app. svg-android seems like the only library that has any documentation and thus my first approach. The only example available demonstrates how to create an imageview attach an svg image and attach it to the main content view. I however want a svg file to show up on a RelativeLayout I already have defined. I attempted an implementation like so:
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
SVG svg = SVGParser.getSVGFromResource(getResources(), R.raw.logo);
imageView.setImageDrawable(svg.createPictureDrawable());
RelativeLayout home_header = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.home_header);
home_header.addView(imageView);
All appears well (no warnings/errors) but when I test the app log cat reports:
05-27 11:25:43.940: I/Adreno200-EGLSUB(28492): <ConfigWindowMatch:2078>: Format RGBA_8888.
05-27 11:25:43.950: E/(28492): Can't open file for reading
05-27 11:25:43.960: E/(28492): Can't open file for reading
I have verified the following:
- File is not open in any other program
- File is properly formatted
What am I missing here? Any suggestions on what might be going on?

android:hardwareAccelerated="false" will disable hardware rendering for the whole activity. An alternative might be to just use:
imageView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
Which should disable it only for that View.
PS. If you are looking for an SVG library with better documentation (and more features), try mine: http://code.google.com/p/androidsvg/

After some debugging and comparing the emulator to the native app I discovered that the "can't open file for reading" is not related to the svg files not displaying. Instead it was related to hardware acceleration. I had to set the following in my manifest
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
problem solved. Time wasted. Brain blown.

There is another option now that doesn't require android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
Use this library - https://github.com/wnafee/vector-compat (api 14+)
android {
// use version 22 or higher
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.wnafee:vector-compat:1.0.5'
...
}
And create a custom ImageView class that uses vector compat class -
public class SvgImageView extends ImageView {
private Drawable icon;
public SvgImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
R.styleable.button_left, 0, 0);
try {
int resId = ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.button_left_b_icon, -1);
if (resId != -1) {
icon = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(this.getContext(), resId);
}
} finally {
ta.recycle();
}
if (icon != null) {
setImage(icon);
}
}
public void setImage(Drawable icon) {
SvgImageView.this.setImageDrawable(icon);
}
}
Vector image example -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Example -

Using androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView instead of ImageView worked for me.

AppCompatImageView
from package android.support.v7.widget
Check this post, I have given all the details to use svg. As per my experience, you can use svg in Android flawlessly.
Pros:
No third party library (official android support library needed) No changes in gradle file
Use `android:src` for all `ImageViews` instead of 'app:srcCompat` for svg and `android:src` for other images.
No need to use AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true); in static block of BaseActivity.
