I have an app that runs perfectly on most devices. However, I'm getting a FATAL exception whenever I try to run my application on devices with API < 21.

Here is the log:

Documentation about Vector Graphics says:

Android 4.4 (API level 20) and lower doesn't support vector drawables.

With Support Library you have backward-compatibility using the attribute app:srcCompat, but it is not backported for android:drawableRight.

The solution is to keep using .PNG files for those cases or try to set it by code.
