title: VectorDrawable - is it available somehow for pre-Lollipop versions of Android?
body: <h2>Background</h2>
  
  <p>I've noticed that Android now supports some kind of vector drawing, via a class called "<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/VectorDrawable.html" rel="noreferrer"><strong>VectorDrawable</strong></a>" (and also <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/AnimatedVectorDrawable.html" rel="noreferrer"><strong>AnimatedVectorDrawable</strong></a>, BTW). I've found about it by looking at what's new on <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/recent/androidstudio0814released" rel="noreferrer"><strong>Android-Studio</strong></a>.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder if this would be the end of having to put multiple files into multiple folders (<code>mdpi</code>, <code>hdpi</code>, <code>xhdpi</code>, etc). That would be great and might minimize apps sizes on some cases.</p>
  
  <h2>The questions</h2>
  
  <p>I'd like to ask a few questions regarding this new class:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is it possible to use it in older Android versions, maybe via a library of even the support library of Google?</p></li>
  <li><p>I'm not familiar with how it works, but can Lollipop handle SVG files? Can it do anything that is achievable on SVG files?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is there any sample/tutorial/video of using it, other than the documentation I've found?</p></li>
  </ol>
