An Android support library providing backwards-compatible implementations of VectorDrawable and AnimatedVectorDrawable for API 14+ devices. It enables XML-defined icon morph animations (like hamburger-to-arrow) with transparent fallback to native Lollipop implementations on API 21+.

Use cases

• use vector drawables on pre-lollipop android devices
• animate hamburger menu icon morphing to back arrow
• create play-pause button morph animations in xml
• render scalable icons without pixelation on older android versions
• add animated vector icons to an android app without writing java code

When to choose

• you need VectorDrawable or AnimatedVectorDrawable support on Android API 14-20
• you want xml-only icon morph animations like play-pause or hamburger-arrow
• you maintain a legacy Android app with a low minSdkVersion

When to avoid

• your minSdkVersion is 21 or higher since the platform provides these classes natively
• you use AndroidX, which includes built-in vector drawable support
• you need an actively maintained library, as the last release was in 2016
