Vector Rendering Problem

Question

I am having problems with VectorDrawables provided by the support library.

Looking around, I read about similar problems associated with poor scaling or incorrect viewing in Android Studio. Well, my problem is unhappy.

PROBLEM:

In fact, my VectorDrawable renders fine in the preview of Android Studio, but gets confused while working on the device (Android v. 5.1.1 and 6.0).

EXPORT:

Starting with an SVG file (with only one complicated path), I imported it using the Android Studio tool (but I also tried many other tools to convert it). The file was made in the same way as a group of others, but only some of them look bad.

WHAT I ALREADY LOST:

I tried installing it in imageview with the application: srcCompat (even with src :). I tried using it in the menu (directly setting the icon or using the selector).

SVG CODE:

As shown on the device (after importing AndroidStudio):

I can not understand what causes poor rendering. I am sure this is not a svg problem (correct me if I am mistaken, please), as other drawings are displayed correctly. I would not even have caused a library error, since I was the only one who encountered the problem. What am I doing wrong?

thanks for the help

Answer 1

Decision

After several attempts (and help from people), I found a problem. The problem was the filling rule, like others already tested, but vice versa.

In fact, as far as I know, VectorDrawable uses a non-zero padding rule and has problems providing SVGs exported using the evenodd rule. Therefore, I always used a non-zero rule. It turns out that using the evenodd method solves my problem.

I do not know why, and at this moment I am too afraid to ask.

Answer 2

In my case, nothing helped until I replaced all the commands of the elliptical arc ( A ) with the cubic commands of the Bezier curve ( C ). Any arc can be represented by one or more Bezier curves. The entire ellipse can be replaced with four Bezier curves.

Inkscape aims to convert arcs to Bezier curves after starting editing the path in SVG, so you can use Inkscape to convert. It seems that Android vector rendering has serious problems when processing A / a commands, it doesn't matter if they are relative or absolute. So just try to convert A / a => C / c .

Please note that to change the letter of the command is not enough, you need to set breakpoints accordingly.

Answer 3

I suspect that this is due to the analysis of team commands. If we look at the first subpath of your path (which is not drawn correctly), it looks like this:

 M 471.8, 374.4 a 54.7, 54.7 0, 0 0, -4.2 -3.8, 248.3 248.3, 0 0, 0 31.3,-121.5 c -0.2, -138.7 -114.7, -251.1 -253.4, -249 -134.7, 2.1 -243.5, 110.9 -245.5, 245.6 a 249.5, 249.5 0, 0 0, 390.6 209.5 l 0.2, 0.2 155.1, 155.1 81, -81Z 

I broke it into readability.

You can see that it uses one of the command line functions of the SVG path, where if the path command repeats, you can skip it and just provide the coordinates. He does this here for the commands a (arc), c (curve) and l (line).

As long as the line segments (descriptor generation) seem to be rendering, I suspect that VectorDrawable rendering does not parse the arc and / or curve segments properly. However, I did not look at the Android codebase to confirm the error.

I would advise you to try returning the command line characters of the skipped path to the path to make sure that it works better. For example:

 M 471.8, 374.4 a 54.7, 54.7 0, 0 0, -4.2 -3.8 a 248.3 248.3, 0 0, 0 31.3,-121.5 c -0.2, -138.7 -114.7, -251.1 -253.4, -249 c -134.7, 2.1 -243.5, 110.9 -245.5, 245.6 a 249.5, 249.5 0, 0 0, 390.6 209.5 l 0.2, 0.2 155.1, 155.1 81, -81Z 

There is another additional path in the line (corresponding to one of the "pills"), which also uses the re-coordinate shortcut. If we also change this, the resulting VectorDrawable will look like this:

 <vector android:height="24dp" android:viewportHeight="610.53" android:viewportWidth="626.96" android:width="24dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <path android:fillColor="#FF000000" android:pathData="M471.8,374.4a54.7,54.7 0,0 0,-4.2 -3.8a248.3 248.3,0 0,0 31.3, -121.5c-0.2,-138.7 -114.7,-251.1 -253.4,-249c-134.7,2.1 -243.5,110.9 -245.5,245.6a249.5,249.5 0,0 0,390.6 209.5l0.2, 0.2 155.1,155.1 81,-81ZM249.5,439.3c-104.8,0 -189.9,-85 -189.9,-189.9s85,-189.9 189.9,-189.9S439.3,144.6 439.3, 249.5 354.3,439.3 249.5,439.3ZM157.3,133l7.7,-22.1a161.3,161.3 0,0 1,52.5 -20.5l-19.8,56.8A19.3,19.3 0,0 1, 173.1 158.9l-4,-1.4A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,157.3 133ZM177.4,215.6L135.3,288.4a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,-26.3 7l-3.7,-2.1a19.3, 19.3 0,0 1,-7 -26.3L140.3,194.2a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,26.3 -7l3.7,2.1A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,177.4 215.6ZM94.7,200.7A161.6, 161.6 0,0 1,114.1 159.9l9.1,9.1a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,0 27.2l-3,3A19.2,19.2 0,0 1,94.6 200.7ZM246.4,146.7A19.3,19.3 0, 0 1,257.3 121.7l55.5,-21.7a162.4,162.4 0,0 1,43.9 27.6A19.2,19.2 0,0 1,351.3 130.9l-78.3,30.6a19.3,19.3 0,0 1, -24.9 -10.9ZM233,175.8 L299.7,227a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,3.5 27l-2.6,3.4a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,-27 3.5l-66.7,-51.2a19.3,19.3 0, 0 1,-3.5 -27l2.6,-3.4A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,233 175.8ZM316.6,367.3 L313.8,370.5a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,-27.1 1.9l-63.4,-55.3A19.3, 19.3 0,0 1,221.3 289.9l2.8,-3.2a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,27.2 -1.9l63.4,55.3A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,316.5 367.2ZM376.7,176.1 L380.7, 177.7a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,10.7 25l-31.3,78.1a19.3,19.3 0,0 1,-25 10.7l-4,-1.6A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,320.3 264.9l31.3,-78.1A19.3, 19.3 0,0 1,376.6 176.1ZM210,390.3a19.2,19.2 0,0 1,-4.8 15.4a161.4 161.4,0 0,1 -38.4,-16.5l-9.9,-76.8a19.3,19.3 0,0 1, 16.6 -21.5l4.3,-0.6A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,199.3 306.9ZM391.7,323.9L390.3,330.3a163.1,163.1 0,0 1,-56.5 57.9l16.1,-73.5a19.3, 19.3 0,0 1,22.9 -14.7l4.2,0.9A19.3,19.3 0,0 1,391.7 323.9Z"/> 

Try it and see if it works better.
