Recently, this has been made easier with the latest updates to Android Studio. To get the vector drawable, you can convert an SVG file into this format. These are XML files that describe the path in which a drawable can be rendered at runtime inside the Android app. One of the more popular ways of handling customized icons within an Android development project is to use vector drawables. Note that both directories must exist beforehand.SVG to Vector Drawables: A Better Way to Customize Android Icons The following command will convert all SVGs in a directory called svgs/, convert them all into VectorDrawables, and write them to a directory called vectors/. I anticipate many won’t want to go through the trouble of building these binaries from scratch, so I built them myself and hosted them on Google Drive here. Well, this weekend my good buddy Nick Butcher taught me how to build the tool as a binary that can be executed from the command line, and I’m so excited about it that I had to share it with the world! :) Where can I download it? Having to go through Android Studio’s GUI in order to convert each SVG one-by-one is simply not realistic. Working at Lyft, it’s not uncommon for me to need to convert hundreds of SVGs into VectorDrawables at a time. However, there has always been one major issue for me: the tool doesn’t support batch conversion of SVGs and can’t be invoked from the command line. Google has recently made huge strides towards improving Android Studio’s SVG-to- VectorDrawable tool in order to improve this experience. Since the very beginning, one of the most annoying aspects of using VectorDrawables on Android has been the lack of a reliable SVG converter.
