androidsvgCOLOR

The well-known AndroidSVG does not (as at November 2020) allow full user control over FILL and STROKE colour because of a clumsy CSS-based method not currently supporting !important. See here.

This fork gives users the final word on colour by deploying a callback fired whenever the Paint colour is set and came about because my app needs to paint user-defined Inkscape SVGs with appropriately contrasted colours over variously-coloured raster map layers.

It arose because the original author wished to enforce the inferior CSS-based method "for the sake of standards", thereby denying his users the flexibility of deciding for themselves which technique would best suit them.

Implementation

Add the following to your project build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

and the following to your app build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.androidsvgCOLOR:1.4.3@aar'
}

Deployment

You must first instantiate com.caverock.androidsvg.SVG.java.

SVG svg;
...
svg.setColourCallback(new SVGBase.ColourCallback(...));

Supply integer paint colours to the callback.

Note

For completeness, here is a HowTo for applying this patch to your fork of the original master.

These were part of my original notes and although superceded still illustrate the approach.
