Custom TextView implementation to allow VectorDrawableCompat to work with compound Drawables

attrs.xml

CompatTextView.java

public class CompatTextView extends AppCompatTextView {
	public CompatTextView(Context context) {

	}

	public CompatTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
		super(context, attrs);

	}

	private void init(@Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
		if (attrs != null) {
			Context context = getContext();
			TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CompatTextView);

			// Obtain DrawableManager used to pull Drawables safely, and check if we're in RTL
			AppCompatDrawableManager dm = AppCompatDrawableManager.get();
			boolean rtl = ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(this) == ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;

			// Grab the compat drawable resources from the XML
			int startDrawableRes = a.getResourceId(R.styleable.CompatTextView_drawableStart, 0);
			int topDrawableRes = a.getResourceId(R.styleable.CompatTextView_drawableTop, 0);
			int endDrawableRes = a.getResourceId(R.styleable.CompatTextView_drawableEnd, 0);
			int bottomDrawableRes = a.getResourceId(R.styleable.CompatTextView_drawableBottom, 0);

			// Load the used drawables, falling back to whatever may be set in an "android:" namespace attribute
			Drawable[] currentDrawables = getCompoundDrawables();
			Drawable left = startDrawableRes != 0 ? dm.getDrawable(context, startDrawableRes) : currentDrawables[0];
			Drawable right = endDrawableRes != 0 ? dm.getDrawable(context, endDrawableRes) : currentDrawables[1];
			Drawable top = topDrawableRes != 0 ? dm.getDrawable(context, topDrawableRes) : currentDrawables[2];
			Drawable bottom = bottomDrawableRes != 0 ? dm.getDrawable(context, bottomDrawableRes) : currentDrawables[3];

			// Account for RTL and apply the compound Drawables
			Drawable start = rtl ? right : left;
			Drawable end = rtl ? left : right;
			setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(start, top, end, bottom);

			a.recycle();
		}
	}
}

Is this just for loading compound drawables or can it load vector drawables directly? I get crashes with the latter, which seems counter to the point :/

@trevjones https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=210708&thanks=210708&ts=1463839667 now its a feature request!

This code won't build at this line

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
 public CompatTextView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyleAttr,
         final int defStyleRes) {
     super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes); //  AppCompatTextView doesn't have this constructor .
     init(attrs);
 }

My support version is '24.2.0'

final SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION = '24.2.0'
compile "com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:$SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION"

Hello, method getCompoundDrawables() return drawables in order "start, top, end, and bottom". Why you use currentDrawables[1] for right (end), in 53 line ?
