How to put a <vector> in a <shape> in Android?

Rather than putting a vector into a shape, I'd use a LayerList Drawable

Something like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <item>        <!-- drawable/circle_card_icon.xml -->        <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"            android:shape="oval">            <solid android:color="#8df"/>            <size                 android:width="48dp"                android:height="48dp"            />        </shape>    </item>    <item android:drawable="@drawable/your_vector_drawable" /></layer-list>

If you have 2 vectors, you can try this (min API 23):

Heart inside star:

ic_heart_in_star:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">        <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_star"  />        <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_heart"            android:gravity="center"            android:width="3dp"            android:height="3dp"  />    </layer-list>

ic_heart:
