I followed the recommended processes for adding images to my app, and it is being displayed correctly on the layout preview, but not at all on the app. I have vector assets, webp, png images, but none are being displayed.

The project is too big to put here in its entirety, but please ask for any snippets that could help you solve the issue. I've tried searching the web and asking LLMs and neither could help, so please help me, fellow humans.

Is it not showing up in the emulator, or the phone on which the app is downloaded, or both?

The laptop is not powerful enough to run an emulator, but it shows up on the layout preview but not any of the 3 physical devices I've tested it on

Do any errors show in logcat? You should be able to filter to show errors only.

I can't figure out how to do that, this is all I can see

Type package:mine level:error in the text bar and see if any errors are returned.

And what is the path of your image, and how are you placing the image in your xml file? Here is an example of one that works for me with an image that is located in the res/drawable/baseline_arrow_back_24.xml package

  <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/backButton"
        android:layout_width="42dp"
        android:layout_height="42dp"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:src="@drawable/baseline_arrow_back_24"
        android:contentDescription="@string/back_arrow" />

I was using app:srcCompat rather than android:src, maybe that's the difference?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I would try app:src or adding

 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true  
    }  

To your build.gradle
