SVG2Drawable
============
Use a jar executable to create a Drawable class to display a SVG on Android.
This is a standalone library, not a Runtime Android library. You need to use it BEFORE your Android compilation (and only once per SVG file).
## Why?
I want to use a scalable image format.
A SVG sounds really good but it's a bit long to load (mainly the time to parse the XML) and I didn't find any library that support the Hardware acceleration.
## How does it work?
My main goal is to have a [Drawable](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable.html) class:
* Made a fork of the [svg-android](https://code.google.com/p/svg-android/) library.
* Replaced any instructions to create a [Picture](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Picture.html) to collect them into a Logger.
* Print this Logger.
* Save it to a Drawable java class.
## How to use it?
You can read the code but I'm not proud of it. I started to do a POC for a basic usage and now I need to transform the code to make it more readable and robust.
You can simply use the [jar provided into this repo](https://github.com/StanKocken/SVG2Drawable/blob/master/svg_converter.jar) by specify:
* the SVG file
* the package where you want to put the Drawable
* the drawable name
You can also specify the output of the script to create a file. By adding "> filename.java".
java -jar svg_converter.jar example.svg com.skocken.svg.example.drawable ExampleDrawable > ExampleDrawable.java
Now, copy this "ExampleDrawable.java" into your Android project, into the package "com.skocken.svg.example.drawable" (from this example), and add it to your ImageView into your code with:
imageview.setImageDrawable(new ExampleDrawable());
