Open Source Development Extension Development

I am trying to create extension, and i found this line of code:

playButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.play);

so i need to get play from drawable res and set i to my assets
but i found play as xml file

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:height="32dp"
    android:width="32dp"
    android:viewportWidth="24"
    android:viewportHeight="24">
    <path android:fillColor="#FFF" android:pathData="M8,5.14V19.14L19,12.14L8,5.14Z" />
</vector>

so i need to know how to convert this xml code to image or Drawable to use it
to set it in playButton

playButton.setImageDrawable(playDrawable);

sorry my language is weak

You could in theory, but I'm not sure how.

Vectors are basically SVGs for Android, if you are able to get them to SVG format, then you can.
