Not showing some SVG formats

[fidoboy]

When i use some SVG formats or I use svgmin to minimize SVG files, they are not being displayed on android but works fine on iOS. It's a bug in Pixate or there is some SVG especifications that I should consider when using these kind of images?

Hi fidoboy,
It's definitely possible that we have some differences between the iOS and the Android SVG support. I believe that at this point, the iOS version can support a bit more advanced specifications in the SVG format.
Have you tried the same SVG in its non-minimized version?
Thanks

[fidoboy]

yes, the non minimized version works fine… Another problem i have with SVG is that i can't resize them when using with buttons in navigation bar (action bar)

[fidoboy]

i've also discovered that if the width and height attributes are missing in the SVG header, they doesn't work on Android but work fine on iOS

Have you taken a look at the ActionBar demo - https://github.com/Pixate/pixate-freestyle-android/tree/master/samples/PixateFreestyleActionBarDemo
In some cases, you may need to force a background-size.

[fidoboy]

Yes, i'm using background-size and it has no effect on image dimensions but in the image sharpness

[Shalom]

Yes, probably because the View's dimension is strictly bound by the ActionBar implementation.

[fidoboy]

ok, i suppose that i could use a background padding to reduce a bit the image, problem is, how can i set color of that padding? cause right now it shows a white background and not the action bar background color :(

[Shalom]

Just a thought :) But you can also edit some padding into your SVG. That should be transparent.

[fidoboy]

yes, your are right but if i do it that way, the images on iOS will be displayed smaller than they should be, cause i'm sharing the same SVG files between both platforms...
