'Binary XML file line #1: invalid drawable tag vector
I have an app that runs perfectly on most devices. However, I'm getting a FATAL exception whenever I try to run my application on devices with API < 21.
Here is the log:

I have tried changing to AppComaptEditText, but it still just gives the same error.
Thanks in advance :)
Solution 1:[1]
Documentation about Vector Graphics says:
Android 4.4 (API level 20) and lower doesn't support vector drawables.
With Support Library you have backward-compatibility using the attribute app:srcCompat, but it is not backported for android:drawableRight.
The solution is to keep using .PNG files for those cases or try to set it by code.
Solution 2:[2]
To create vector drawable use:
vector = VectorDrawableCompat.create(context.getResources(), R.drawable.res, null);
Or add AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true) to Application onCreate() method
Note: this solution doesn't work for android:drawableLetf or android:drawableRight but allow to use app:srcCompat
Solution 3:[3]
You can use this solution to get vector drawables before 5.0 :
Drawable drawable = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(mContext, mImageTitleResId);
Solution 4:[4]
I had a similar stack trace in my project when running on Android 4.4 devices, even though it worked fine on Android 7 and higher:

If the resource you are trying to use is a vector resource, you may be referencing it in an unsupported way. See AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled() for more info.

...when trying to reference drawables for use with ViewPager2 tabs with the TabLayoutMediator:
viewPager = view.findViewById(R.id.pager)
viewPager.offscreenPageLimit = 2
viewPager.adapter = shareCollectionAdapter
val tabLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.share_tab_layout) as TabLayout
TabLayoutMediator(tabLayout, viewPager) { tab, position ->
when (position) {
0 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.location)
tab.icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(Application.get(), R.drawable.ic_baseline_location_on_24)
}
1 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.log)
tab.icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(Application.get(), R.drawable.ic_baseline_list_alt_24)
}
2 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.device)
tab.icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(Application.get(), R.drawable.ic_baseline_perm_device_information_24)
}
}
}.attach()
...but none of the above solutions worked.
I ended up fixing this by refencing the resource ID for the drawables directly instead of using ContextCompat to load them as drawables first.
Note that Kotlin doesn't resolve the direct assignment of tab.icon = R.drawable.x directly, so you need to use the setter method tab.setIcon(R.drawable.x) instead.
Here's the fixed code that works:
viewPager = view.findViewById(R.id.pager)
viewPager.offscreenPageLimit = 2
viewPager.adapter = shareCollectionAdapter
val tabLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.share_tab_layout) as TabLayout
TabLayoutMediator(tabLayout, viewPager) { tab, position ->
when (position) {
0 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.location)
tab.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_baseline_location_on_24)
}
1 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.log)
tab.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_baseline_list_alt_24)
}
2 -> {
tab.text = getString(R.string.device)
tab.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_baseline_perm_device_information_24)
}
}
}.attach()

Only need to Change
android:drawableTop - app:drawableTopCompat,
android:drawableBottom - app:drawableBottomCompat,
android:drawableLeft - app:drawableLeftCompat,
android:drawableRight - app:drawableRightCompat.
