08/28/2020, 5:52 PMvectorResource doesn't apply to things like layer list/shape drawables. Those aren't supported today.

08/28/2020, 5:55 PMYeah, i have a shape file just as a POC for now to house the header image. I tried imageResource and imageFromResource and neither works.
I can always load it as a Drawable and convert to bitmap. ImageAsset has an extension from to convert from Bitmap to ImageAsset.

08/28/2020, 5:59 PMmight be easier to write it as a vector drawable and use the above

The other alternative is to use Modifier.drawBehind and use the corresponding draw calls directly on DrawScope which for a simple shape is a one liner

08/31/2020, 1:02 PMYeah, this won’t be a simple shape unfortunately. It would be something from an xml file for right now. Eventually it would be a png, but as i’m developing, it would be an xml based drawable, so i wanted to figure out how to make it work.
