I´m trying a app (sdk 22) on an Android 4.2 device.

the project does use AppCompat lib (just checked, no UI objects), the Appcompat Theme and the extends directive
Additionally my ImagSlider library

It crashes with the error shown below:


it is missing a abc_vector_test.xml ?

I got the stacktrace in the unfiltered log. In B4A the log was just empty... On the device i just got the message "B4A Example wurde angehalten"

B4A 6.8, Api 25 (Tools Configure Paths)
AppCompat 3.52
targetSdkVersion 22

Is this a problem in AppCompat lib or in Android (support-v7)?

Which Android SDK Build Tools do you have installed?

AppCompat uses vector drawables internally and these are only supported (on KitKat and below) if the app is compiled with build tools 23.0.3 or up. If you have any older Android SDK Build tools installed in SDK Manager please try to deinstall them. It should be safe if you only have one of the 25.xx build tools installed.
B4A may use a too old build tools version if it is installed.

if the app is compiled with build tools 23.0.3 or up
i´m sure i have newer version installed (TOO).

If you have any older Android SDK Build tools installed in SDK Manager please try to deinstall them. It should be safe if you only have one of the 25.xx build tools installed.
Will try your suggestion and let only the 25.xx tools installed.... I´ll report here
