Question 126268 in Android Studio Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Android Studio – My items disappear when I add another item with an SVG – Android Studio XML

First of all, I’m not necessarily comfortable with programming in Java, nor on Android Studio (I just started to develop on this language and this tool again after 2 years and a few stops).

In order to design a button, I created a drawable with a red circle of 69dp in a layer-list.

Then I had to add a triangle in this round (in order to make a play button). Except that I couldn’t get the triangle I wanted, so I decided to import my triangle into SVG (it was simpler), and add it to my Drawable via another item with the android:drawable="@drawable/triangle" property.

Except that when this new drawable is imported, the round disappears completely, and only the triangle remains visible in my view.

Therefore, I added the following properties to my item that contains the triangle:

android:left="120dp"
android:right="-128dp"
android:top="128dp"
android:bottom="-128dp

I confess that I do not understand what is happening to me at the moment. Some explanations would not be refused.

Code :
triangle.xml :

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="29px"
    android:height="29px"
    android:viewportWidth="69"
    android:viewportHeight="69">
  <path
      android:pathData="M30.743,11.826C32.929,12.938 32.929,16.062 30.743,17.174L8.86,28.304C6.864,29.319 4.5,27.869 4.5,25.63L4.5,3.37C4.5,1.131 6.864,-0.319 8.86,0.696L30.743,11.826Z"
      android:fillColor="#F30000"/>
  <path
      android:pathData="M30.289,16.283L8.407,27.413C7.076,28.089 5.5,27.123 5.5,25.63L5.5,3.37C5.5,1.877 7.076,0.911 8.407,1.587L30.289,12.717C31.747,13.459 31.747,15.541 30.289,16.283Z"
      android:strokeWidth="2"
      android:fillColor="#00000000"
      android:strokeColor="#ffffff"/>
</vector>

button.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="@color/red_max" />
            <stroke
                android:width="69dp"
                android:color="@color/red_max" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item
        android:left="120dp"
        android:right="-128dp"
        android:top="128dp"
        android:bottom="-128dp"
        android:drawable="@drawable/triangle">
    </item>
</layer-list>

And I import my drawable in my activity like that :

<ImageView
        android:layout_width="69dp"
        android:layout_height="69dp"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:src="@drawable/start_button" />

(You can test with and without android:left ; android:right ; android:top ; and android:bottom to see the problem)

Problem with image :

Center correctly but don't show

The circle disappears

    You must first draw your triangle in center of its viewport , then :

    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="#DD1010" />
            <size android:height="33dp"
                android:width="33dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item

        android:left="5dp"
        android:top="5dp"
        android:right="5dp"
        android:bottom="5dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:drawable="@drawable/triangle">
    </item>
</layer-list>

    and your triangle that I just change its viewport size. you must draw it in center of its viewport;

    <vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="33dp"
    android:height="33dp"
    android:viewportWidth="33"
    android:viewportHeight="33">
    <path
        android:pathData="M30.743,11.826C32.929,12.938 32.929,16.062 30.743,17.174L8.86,28.304C6.864,29.319 4.5,27.869 4.5,25.63L4.5,3.37C4.5,1.131 6.864,-0.319 8.86,0.696L30.743,11.826Z"
        android:fillColor="#F30000"/>
    <path
        android:pathData="M30.289,16.283L8.407,27.413C7.076,28.089 5.5,27.123 5.5,25.63L5.5,3.37C5.5,1.877 7.076,0.911 8.407,1.587L30.289,12.717C31.747,13.459 31.747,15.541 30.289,16.283Z"
        android:strokeWidth="2"
        android:fillColor="#00000000"
        android:strokeColor="#ffffff"/>
</vector>

    You need to give specific width and height. And then, give it gravity.
