What is the proper method to use the new VectorDrawable in the toolbar? I tried to use the app:srcCompat element as illustrated below, but nothing showed up.
Solution 1:
Turns out it's quite easy.
Say, you have vector drawable vd_trash_24dp.
Describing MenuItem one cannot address VectorDrawable directly with android:icon. It seems ignoring app:srcCompat also.
But. As all we know ;)
AppCompat does support loading vector drawables when they are
referenced in another drawable container such as a StateListDrawable,
InsetDrawable, LayerDrawable, LevelListDrawable, and RotateDrawable
Let's try it, should we?
Create StateListDrawable vd_test_vd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:drawable ="@drawable/vd_trash_24dp" /> </selector > Copy than
<menu xmlns:android ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app ="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools ="http://schemas.android.com/tools" > <item android:id ="@+id/menu_action_filter" android:title ="@string/menu_action_filter" android:icon ="@drawable/vd_test_vd" android:orderInCategory ="100" app:showAsAction ="always" /> </menu > Copy street magic indeed.
Yes, one could try and set drawable at runtime with MenuItem.setIcon(). But who need that %)
