How to create Android VectorDrawables from Illustrator (or similar tool)?
If you're using Android Studio, the best method is:
- Right-click on your 'drawable' folder > New > Vector Asset
- Click 'Local SVG file' to import your own SVG file, or 'Material Icon' to use the supplied icons.
- Change the resource name to whatever you need it to be.
- Click Next and choose your target modules and res directory.
- Click Finish.
The wizard produces XML from your SVG files.
That tool only appears to currently support <path> elements. So for example it doesn't support <rect>, <circle> etc.
If you are using primitives like this in your drawing, you need to convert them. I forget the exact option you need to use, but it's probably something like "Convert to path".

Just use SVG to VectorDrawable Converter or its online version. This is a batch converter of SVG images to Android VectorDrawable XML resource files.
Link points to readme, which provide enough information on how to use the converter.
