Android Studio Vector Asset Import Error - Tags No

I've been testing out Andorid Studio with the new gradle plugin - 1.4.0-beta3.

I've been trying to import my own vector assets, made in Inkscape. However I keep getting import errors. The error message includes lots of tags in the svg that arn't supported.

In mm_card.svg:
ERROR@ line 54 <defs> is not supported
ERROR@ line 56 <linearGradient> is not supported
ERROR@ line 58 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 62 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 66 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 70 <stop> is not supported

ERROR@ line 127 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 131 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 135 <stop> is not supported
ERROR@ line 139 <stop> is not supported

Does anyone know the cause of this? Is it an error in the vector asset tool? Or perhaps a problem with svgs created by Inkscape? Or are more complicated svgs not supported?

Thanks!

The SVG import feature in Android Studio has only limited support for some SVG features.

They state as much in their announcement video. They say they intend to improve the importer.

But also note that gradients are not supported in VectorDrawables anyway.
