Can you please check this. It contains my drawable vector image, my XML, my error and my Java code. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7XpFVYwQlMYcHc3Q2lHWWU3cUE — Nazmus Saadat, Aug 09 '17 at 05:05
Nazmus, I know it's a while back but do you remember if you solved this? — n00dles, Apr 08 '19 at 20:25
@n00dles, yes, i can remember. Don't use SVG or Vector image as a background and always use app:srcCompat="@drawable/------" — Nazmus Saadat, Apr 09 '19 at 05:10

Make sure you have added vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true inside defaultConfig in app/build.gradle.

Like

defaultConfig {
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        ....
 }

EDIT 1 In order to support vector in API less then 21. Also add this in onCreate method of Activity before setContentView.

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);

Use color code replace of color name from color.xml in your drawable vector xml like below;

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="24dp"
    android:height="24dp"
    android:viewportWidth="24.0"
    android:viewportHeight="24.0">
<path
    android:fillColor="#4396e6"
    android:pathData="M21,19V5c0,-1.1 -0.9,-2 -2,-2H5c-1.1,0 -2,0.9 -2,2v14c0,1.1 0.9,2 2,2h14c1.1,0 2,-0.9 2,-2zM8.5,13.5l2.5,3.01L14.5,12l4.5,6H5l3.5,-4.5z"/>
