How to Convert SVG, PSD Images to Vector Drawable File in Android Studio?

18 Feb, 2021
In order to use the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) or PSD (Photoshop document) image file in your android studio project, you have to first convert them into an XML (Vector Drawable) file. Why XML (Vector Drawable) file?
small in size
scalability (It scaled without loss of display quality)
height and width can be changed easily
support transparency
color can be changed
In this article, we will discuss how to convert SVG and PSD image files into XML Vector Drawable and display it in the Android app.
Step 1: Create a New Project
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. 
Step 2: Converting Files
Right Click on the app -> res, then select New->Vector Asset
Asset Studio Window will open, select the Local file (SVG, PSD) 
Locate the SVG or PSD file in the Path. (Download file)
Change the Name, Size, Opacity of the file, and click on Next. Now your SVG file is converted into an XML file.
When you click on the ic_freesample.xml file following is the auto-generated XML code.

Step 3: Showing image in the Android app
Now we will show this XML vector drawable file in the app.
Below is the code of the activity_main.xml file.
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    tools:context=".MainActivity">          <!-- Imageview to show the converted svg file -->    <ImageView        android:src="@drawable/ic_freesample"        android:layout_centerInParent="true"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>  </RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java file
There is nothing to do with the MainActivity.java file.
Java
// MainActivity.java fileimport androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;import android.os.Bundle;  public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {      @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);      }  }
