created issue #1

Dec 30, 2022 04:00PM

Component used: androidx.core.splashscreen.SplashScreen Version used: 1.0.0 Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Android 5, Android 6

SplashScreen.install method calls android.content.Context.getDrawable on API 21. It, in turn, calls android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable.inflate instead of VectorDrawableCompat.inflate.

VectorDrawable does not support some features like gradients, what may lead to a crash (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53018399/android-invalid-color-state-list-tag-gradient) when inflating the VectorDrawable.

Suggestion: At least enable the users of the library to use VectorDrawableCompat instead of VectorDrawable.

Tell me if I'm wrong but the OS uses the SplashScreen theme to initially load the vector drawable in the zygote process on API 23+, before the Activity is even launched. At that moment, AppCompat can't be used anyway, so the display would still be incorrect on API 23 if the VD is using features like gradients.
