Vector Workflows

" summary

Claim: vectors cut APK size and stay sharp; example conversion for a large app yields noticeable savings. Uses: vector drawable compat (backported to API ~16), Android Studio Resource Manager drag‑drop converter, SVGO/SVG OMG optimization, and Shape Shifter for path morphs. Surprises: a pathological SVG shrinks from ~416 KB to ~760 B after removing texture; an icon optimization cuts inflate time from ~11 ms to ~3.6 ms and draw time from ~2 ms to ~0.5 ms. Practical rules: avoid textures, export artboards, prefer simple filled shapes.
