Can someone take a look at this? I also encountered this issue and unless this gets merged, the library does not work on android 6

I'm using this fix in my fork https://github.com/tinsukE/svg-android. You can use it in gradle/maven with https://jitpack.io/:

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

...

compile 'com.github.tinsukE:svg-android:2.0.6-1'

@tinsukE Thanks!

This may be costly, because toCharArray() copies the characters, as the javadoc says. This object might be constructed many times even during processing a single image. I have changed s to be a String, and use charAt() instead of getting from an array. Should charAt() be fast, it is a native method in newer SDKs, older use array access inside.
Should actually measure performance, it works as fast as previously (as perceived) for me anyway.
