Webp Images Not Supported as Drawables in 1.3.0-beta1

[Scott Olcott]

We have been using webp images in our src/main/res/drawable folder to help reduce the size of our apk.  This has been working for quite a while for us.  After trying out the 1.3.0-beta1 version of the gradle plugin this not longer works.  We get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':module:mergeReleaseResources'.

> /path-to-module/src/main/res/drawable/image.webp: Error: The file name must end with .xml or .png

Is this expected?  Are webp images no longer supported?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi is the error fixed? Because we are facing the same issue. 1.3.0-beta1 version gives ur error for ico images in drawable folder and hence the project does not compile. If i remove the line in build file (1.3.0-beta1) it compiles fine

[Xavier Ducrohet]

please try with 1.3.0-beta4

Same here! I thought I am the only one using webp in drawable. Hope this is fixed asap.

Hey Xavier et. al,

Any news on this issue? I just tried to upgrade my project to 1.3.0 and got this problem with our .svg files living in res/drawable.

Hi folks,

I'd like to check up on this problem, as it's preventing me from upgrading to the 1.3 plugin. 

Is this being tracked anywhere on the AOSP issue tracker? Any idea when it will be fixed?

Thanks!

Mike

[Scott Olcott]

This is fixed for .webp images.

[Michael Grafton]

Interesting, thanks. It still breaks on SVG images, though (which we are loading through a third-party library right now).

Hey Dev Tools team: is putting SVGs into res/drawable ever going to be legal again?

Hi all,

SVGs can't be used as drawables, so they should probably be moved in res/raw or be converted to vector drawables, but webp should now be fine in 1.3

Chris.
