Is it not showing up in the emulator, or the phone on which the app is downloaded, or both?

The laptop is not powerful enough to run an emulator, but it shows up on the layout preview but not any of the 3 physical devices I've tested it on
Do any errors show in logcat? You should be able to filter to show errors only.
I can't figure out how to do that, this is all I can see
Type package:mine level:error in the text bar and see if any errors are returned.
And what is the path of your image, and how are you placing the image in your xml file? Here is an example of one that works for me with an image that is located in the res/drawable/baseline_arrow_back_24.xml package
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/backButton"
android:layout_width="42dp"
android:layout_height="42dp"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="@drawable/baseline_arrow_back_24"
android:contentDescription="@string/back_arrow" />I was using app:srcCompat rather than android:src, maybe that's the difference?
I would try app:src or adding
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
To your build.gradle
Have you tested if this issue appears on more than one device configuration? E.g. Your personal physical device and on the emulator?
I tested on three different Android devices but my laptop is not powerful enough to run an emulator so I haven't tried that.
Are those devices all the same manufacturer?
Two Samsung, one Motorola
Maybe with some images people can help🤷♂️
Ooh it's easy. The layout in android studio is light, on the device is dark. Switch to light and they'll pop up
On the XML icon you have co change the color or apply a different color based light/dark
If not, you can share more like icon XML and stuff
Unfortunately switching the theme to light didn't work, the images aren't being displayed at all.

Have you tried with scr instead of srcCompat?
Yes, but then it gave some error when compiling and failed to compile
May be relevent to your issue
Then post the error instead of saying you got an error
I can't remember it right now nor do I have access to the laptop at the moment, but when I do, I will post the exact error I got.
I will try that tomorrow when I have next have access to the device.
