This repository is simply a repackaging of the vector drawable tool from the Android Studio source code. The included Gradle files take care of downloading and extracting the latest source code, allowing you to build the command line tool, without the need to download the entire AOSP.
Download the latest release, extract it wherever you'd like, and run the tool.
curl -L -o /tmp/vd-tool.zip https://github.com/rharter/vd-tool/releases/latest/download/vd-tool.zip
mkdir ~/bin
unzip /tmp/vd-tool.zip -d ~/bin
~/bin/vd-tool/bin/vd-tool --helpThe Vector Drawable Tool depends on Google's libraries from com.android.tools package. Make sure that android-tools property at gradle/libs.versions.toml is set to the latest stable version from Google maven repository
Since this repository doesn't contain the actual source code of the tool, you first need to run the
fetchSources task, which will download and extract the source. Then you can use standard run and
assembleDist tasks to build the project.
# First fetch the sources
./gradlew fetchSources
# Assemble the distributions. The output is at ./tools/base/vector-drawable-tool/build/distibutions/
./gradlew assembleDist
# Or simply run the tool directly from Gradle
./gradlew run --args="--help"Copyright (c) 2022 Ryan Harter
