    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    /**
     * Unlike the support library app:srcCompat, this will ONLY work with vectors.
     * @param imageView
     * @param resourceId
     */
    @BindingAdapter("android:src")
    public static void setImage(ImageView imageView, int resourceId) {
        Drawable drawable = VectorDrawableCompat.create(imageView.getResources(), resourceId, imageView.getContext().getTheme());
        imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
    }

    /**
     * Unlike the support library app:srcCompat, this will ONLY work with vectors.
     * @param textView
     * @param resourceId

    @BindingAdapter("android:drawableLeft")
    public static void setDrawableLeft(TextView textView, int resourceId) {
        Drawable drawable = VectorDrawableCompat.create(textView.getResources(), resourceId, textView.getContext().getTheme());
        Drawable[] drawables = textView.getCompoundDrawables();
        textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(drawable,
                drawables[1], drawables[2], drawables[3]);
    }
}

This applies to animated-vector 2?

Seems I've found a simpler solution: https://github.com/MichaelRocks/DataBindingCompat
BTW, this approach doesn't work when using a ternary operator with drawable resources in a binding expression.
