svg files rendering in android

I wrote a program in Android for setting different kinds of images as my background image, but it is not working with svg files. I am not getting any errors, it is not displaying a开发者_StackOverflow社区ny image and I'm getting a blank screen in my emulator when using svg files. Can any one suggest how to read and display svg files in Android with some code? Or should I convert xml code?

Check out Batik. It's a library for creating and parsing SVG in java. It's part of the Apache XML Graphics Project.

Update:

As it turns out, getting Batik to work on Android is non-trivial and there are easier ways to work with SVG on Android. See this answer for more detail.

If you can afford to only support Android versions greater than 3, then you could use a Webkit instance to render SVG, as the Android Webkit browser finally has SVG support compiled in.

Alternatively, if you do not require support for scripting or animation, you try using this library: http://code.google.com/p/svg-android/

Another alternative is AndroidSVG (http://code.google.com/p/androidsvg/).
