Draw me a rainbow: Advanced VectorDrawable rendering
summary
VectorDrawables support theme colors and tinting (e.g. ColorControlNormal or colorPrimary), work back to API14 with AndroidX, and accept stateful paint via ColorStateLists so a single asset can change on press or selection. Gradients include linear, radial and sweep gradients with per-stop control, tile modes (clamp/repeat/mirror), and can be transformed (scaleY) to fake shadows; AAPT extracts inline gradients to resources; one illustration shrinks to roughly one fifth the PNG size and stays sharp.
