Vector images imported from SVG images not being recognised in ImageView

The SVG that I was attempting to import was not correctly formatted, this lead to the xml for the vecto image not being correctly formatted either Try the following samples here as these are all correctly formatted SVGs.
I am attempting to add a SVG image into a ImageView but i keep on getting an error every time I try to call its #drawable/ value. The file seems to be in the right location since when I use a PNg image it works, but it does not get recognised when its an SVG image.
The XML to add the image is :
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/statusImage"
android:layout_width="304dp"
android:layout_height="391dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/statusText"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_temp" />
and the location of the image file is:
I have tried to modify the Gradle file so that it contains:
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
But that does not seem to solve the issue I'm having.
The error log seems to print that :

Any help is appreciated since the solutions that I've followed currently have not solved the problem.
*********EDIT*********
The SVG file is imported using the "New -> Vector Asset" built in feature in Android Studio and by using a local file.
The image file looks like:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="640dp"
android:height="640dp"
android:viewportWidth="640"
android:viewportHeight="640">
<path
followed by a load of information about the image path.
I have attempted to change app:srcCompat to android:src and this still gives the same error as before.

Can you try again?
android:src="#drawable/ic_temp"
You can't use viewportHeight and viewportWidth as 640
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="640dp"
android:height="640dp">
Source VectorDrawable

Issue has been sumarised at the top of the article. Thanks for the help.

What's mistake i'm making here ? i'm new to android so kindly help me out here.

Your view variable is not defined and you are trying to use it as it is null. But on the another hand, I dont think you need this, just go with findViewById without this view

It looks like view_rooms is not an activity - the second argument in your intent needs to be the context of the destination.
So if you want to go to new activity change your intent like this:
startActivity(new Intent(dashboard.this, SecondActivity.class));

You are using this in the dashboard activity line number 25
imgauto = view.findViewById(R.id.autoimg)
while your variable view is empty you have not assigned it something and also you are in activity so use it directly like this
imgauto = findViewById(R.id.autoimg)
try this and i am sure it will work perfectly.

From mipmap to drawable

I used to have the images of my app in the mipmap folders but I didn't have deferent resolutions ( I had the exactly same image in all 5 folders). In order to save space I moved those images in the drawable folder (except the launcher icons that are the only images that have different resolutions) . But when I open an activity that has some of those images I get the following crash error:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a

I have faced this issue before, this was because i had a very very large image inside my drawable folder to be loaded (out of memory).
What i did, is to drag all my drawables to this site to generate Android assets and returned them back to my drawables with the new sizes (and resolutions as well like hdpi,....etc).

This means you are out of memory. What you can do to save space is move the images back into the mipmap folder but you only need it in one of them. You do not need to put it in all five. It is not the best practice, but it would work.

use this link to create appropriate resolution images(hdp,xdp, xxdp) and then put these images in related drawable resource directory

Error inflating class ImageView in android

whenever i hit the imageview i get this error, this happens to me when i switch to test my app on different screen sizes, here is my xml
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/search"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginEnd="28dp"
android:layout_marginRight="28dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/search"/>
and here is the error
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.ahmed.electionadmin, PID: 30789

I have tried so many solutions that asks me to replace src with srccompat and so on, but still is working, ant help would be appreciated

To use srcCompat you need to add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true to your build.gradle file:
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
Or you can use src instead of srcCompat to resolve the error.
android:src="#drawable/search"

Replace this:
app:srcCompat="#drawable/search"
With:
android:src="#drawable/search"
Pay attention, not only src with srcCompat, also app with android.
Let me know if it works.
Explanation: You're not using a support library ImageView, but a regular one. app namespace is usually used for support library, same as srcCompat. So you needed to change those 2 things, not just one. That's why merely changing the srcCompat with src yielded no results.

i fixed it by uploading my image inside draawable no 24

you are doing like fitting image to different resolutions , you should have image with different resolutions like hdpi xhdpi , you you can use vector drawable image

Custom Layout in Homescreen Widget

I am developing a homescreen widget that has a number of different sized buttons. To maximize the use of space, I want to use a flow layout for this widget (which for some crazy reason, android has no native implementation of).
To solve this, I have tried using third party implementations and implemented the layout myself, however, I always get an exception when loading the widget:
W/AppWidgetHostView: updateAppWidget couldn't find any view, using error view
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class [redacted].FlowLayout
Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class [redacted].FlowLayout
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "[redacted].FlowLayout" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/system/priv-app/Velvet/Velvet.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/system/priv-app/Velvet/lib/arm64, /system/priv-app/Velvet/Velvet.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a, /system/lib64, /vendor/lib64, /system/lib64, /vendor/lib64]]
My layout for the widget looks only like this:
<[redacted].FlowLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#09C"
android:padding="#dimen/widget_margin"
android:id="#+id/widgetRoot"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</[redacted].FlowLayout>
Assuming that the redacted namespace is correct, is there any way to do what I want or is it impossible to use a custom layout with a homescreen widget?

Home screen widgets are wery limitted things, they doesn't support custom layouts: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#CreatingLayout
