title: Making Complex Android XML Drawables
body: <p>How powerful are android XML based drawables?</p>
  
  <p>I'm really wondering if it is possible to replace semi-complex bitmap assets, such as the following arrow icons, using only xml shapes.</p>

  <p>So far I haven't seen many good example of anything other than basic shapes. I know <code>&lt;layer-list&gt;</code> can be used to combine shapes, but I've had a difficult time working with them. Particularly, relative sizing and offsets of shapes with <code>&lt;layer-list&gt;</code> does not seem to work well.</p>
