android:load svg file from web and show it on image view

Update: For newer version please checkout the Glide Samples (https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/master/samples/svg)

-

You can use Glide (https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/v3.6.0) and AndroidSVG (https://bitbucket.org/paullebeau/androidsvg).

There is also a sample from Glide: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/v3.6.0/samples/svg/src/main/java/com/bumptech/svgsample/app

Setup GenericRequestBuilder

requestBuilder = Glide.with(mActivity)
    .using(Glide.buildStreamModelLoader(Uri.class, mActivity), InputStream.class)
            .from(Uri.class)
            .as(SVG.class)
            .transcode(new SvgDrawableTranscoder(), PictureDrawable.class)
            .sourceEncoder(new StreamEncoder())
            .cacheDecoder(new FileToStreamDecoder<SVG>(new SvgDecoder()))
            .decoder(new SvgDecoder())
                    .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_facebook)
                    .error(R.drawable.ic_web)
            .animate(android.R.anim.fade_in)
            .listener(new SvgSoftwareLayerSetter<Uri>());

Use RequestBuilder with uri

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#/media/File:SVG_logo.svg");
            requestBuilder
                    .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)
                            // SVG cannot be serialized so it's not worth to cache it
                    .load(uri)
                    .into(mImageView);

Please refer to Having issue on Real Device using vector image in android. SVG-android

In the users post he asks a similar question and suggest he uses:

Create a member variable for the ImageView in your layout file;

private ImageView mImageView;

// intialize in onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);

Download the image

private class HttpImageRequestTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Drawable> {
    @Override
    protected Drawable doInBackground(Void... params) {
        try {


            final URL url = new URL("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Svg_example3.svg");
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
            SVG svg = SVGParser. getSVGFromInputStream(inputStream);
            Drawable drawable = svg.createPictureDrawable();
            return drawable;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage(), e);
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Drawable drawable) {
        // Update the view
        updateImageView(drawable);
    }
}

Then Apply the drawable to the Imageview

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
private void updateImageView(Drawable drawable){
    if(drawable != null){

        // Try using your library and adding this layer type before switching your SVG parsing
        mImageView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
        mImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
    }
}

SVGParser is available at https://github.com/pents90/svg-android

Use this Glide based library loading xml

Add dependency

  compile 'com.github.ar-android:AndroidSvgLoader:1.0.0'

for latest android dependency Gradle use this instead

implementation 'com.github.ar-android:AndroidSvgLoader:1.0.0'

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ivimage"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.list_item);            

        ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivimage);

        SvgLoader.pluck()
                .with(this)
                .setPlaceHolder(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .load("http://www.clker.com/cliparts/u/Z/2/b/a/6/android-toy-h.svg", image);

    }

    @Override protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        SvgLoader.pluck().close();
    }
}
