Hmm looks interesting...

Works great on API 21+ devices.

For VectorDrawables with backward compatibility API <21 there is a library on github

Would some of the Wrap-Gurus be able and willing to make it available for the community?

See 110. VectorCompat (MorphButton) (*6)

i dont know how to convert a png to xml vectordrawables

 

[DonManfred]

you cant. Create them with a vector-app...
A vector-drawable is kind of a textfile... Look the samples i provided
