    Certain resource types are a composition of multiple complex resources represented by XML files. +One example is an animated vector drawable, which is a drawable resource encapsulating a vector +drawable and an animation. This requires the use of at least three XML files.

    There are a lot of files here just to make a single animated vector drawable! +If the vector drawable and animations are re-used elsewhere, this is the best way to implement an +animated vector drawable. If they’re only ever used for this animated vector drawable, then there is +a more compact way to implement them.

    + +

    Using AAPT’s inline resource format, you can define all three resources in the same XML file. +Since we’re making an animated vector drawable, we put the file under res/drawable/.

    + +
    + +
    res/drawable/avd.xml
    +
    +
    +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<animated-vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+    xmlns:aapt="http://schemas.android.com/aapt" >
+
+    <aapt:attr name="android:drawable" >
+        <vector
+            android:height="64dp"
+            android:width="64dp"
+            android:viewportHeight="600"
+            android:viewportWidth="600" >
+
           <group
+                android:name="rotationGroup"
+                android:pivotX="300.0"
+                android:pivotY="300.0"
+                android:rotation="45.0" >
+                <path
+                    android:fillColor="#000000"
+                    android:pathData="M300,70 l 0,-70 70,70 0,0 -70,70z" />
+
           </group>
+        </vector>
+    <aapt:attr />
+
+    <target
+        android:name="rotationGroup" />
+        <aapt:attr name="android:animation" >
+            <objectAnimator
+                android:duration="6000"
+                android:propertyName="rotation"
+                android:valueFrom="0"
+
               android:valueTo="360" />
+        <aapt:attr>
+</animated-vector>
+
    +
    + +
    + +

    The XML tag <aapt:attr > tells AAPT that the tag’s child shall be treated as a +resource and extracted into its own resource file. The value in the attribute name specifies where +to use the inline resource within the parent tag.

    + +

    AAPT will generate resource files and names for all of the inline resources. +Applications built using this inline format are compatible with all versions of Android.
