Converting SVG File To Android Vector Drawable XML While Keeping The Group Structure In Place


Answer :

Update 2019: There is no need of using any external tool or Heck as pointed by older answers. Android Studio's Asset Studio allows to convert SVG/ PSD to vectors




  • Right click on app folder-> New Vector Asset

  • Select second option in radio button to create vector from local file as shown in below image.

  • Click on folder icon to load local SVG file and it will automatically convert that into vector:



enter image description here



Have you tried Shape Shifter? Its meant as a program to let you animate vectors and svgs easily, but you can import your .svg and export to a Vector Drawable straight away. It should keep your group structure too (but I make no promises as I haven't done so explicitly myself).



Create a blank xml file. write all attributes of a VectorDrawable except pathdata. Open the SVG file in wordpad. Copy the pathdata and then paste it in the xml file you created.



Example SVG:



 <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" >
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" viewBox="0 -174 1280 870">
  <g transform="matrix(1 0 0 -1 0 696)">
   <path fill="currentColor"
d="M540 97.4004l-39 21q-47 30 -77 84q-35 62 -34 129q2.10449 95.0107 62 163q74 84 184.5 84t179.7 -86.4004q59.7998 -73.5996 61.2002 -151.199q1.59961 -88.4004 -44.4004 -153.601q-34 -46.7998 -75.5996 -69.5996l-51.6006 -19.2002q18.2002 -2 37.2002 -2.40039
q78 0.400391 157 0.400391l-12 27q-3 4 -23.7998 -5.7998z" />
  </g>

</svg>


Example xml file with same pathdata:



<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:width="1280dp"
        android:height="870dp"
        android:viewportWidth="1280.0"
        android:viewportHeight="870.0">

    <path
        android:pathData="

        M540 97.4004l-39 21
        q-47 30 -77 84
        q-35 62 -34 129
        q2.10449 95.0107 62 163
        q74 84 184.5 84 t179.7 -86.4004
        q59.7998 -73.5996 61.2002 -151.199
        q1.59961 -88.4004 -44.4004 -153.601
        q-34 -46.7998 -75.5996 -69.5996l-51.6006 -19.2002
        q18.2002 -2 37.2002 -2.40039 
        q78 0.400391 157 0.400391l-12 27
        q-3 4 -23.7998 -5.7998       "

        android:strokeLineCap="round"
        android:strokeColor="#f00f"
        android:fillColor="#00000000"
        android:strokeWidth="32"/>
</vector>


Note: "z" at the end of pathdata is deleted and the lines were also rearranged manually by me for better readability.



This way you will have to convert the SVGs to xml one at a time and manually.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
