Guest davbren Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey all I was googling svg in android and it appears that it is not supported. I think this needs to be addressed. Wouldn't we get better performance from the devices if the artwork was in svg format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, svg and other vector graphics have many advantages. But speed is normally not one of them (especially for icons and small graphics). Performance is probably the biggest reason for using bitmaps. To draw vector graphics is normally quite expensive for the cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
