app:srcCompat with ImageView allows for backward compatible use of vector drawables. But how can you use them with other Views besides ImageView? For example, the TextView attributes like android:drawableLeft.

Also using the vector drawable as an android:icon with MenuItem caused a crash with the following exception:

With Support Library 23.2.0, how can this issue be addressed?

Dadou is right. So if you would like use selector for view with VectorDrawables you need to add: 

    static {
    AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(trfor);
}

to every Activity where you want to use VectorDrawables on devices with versions below Android 5.

set vector drawable to side drawable in textview in android

AppCompatTextView now supports app:drawableLeftCompat, app:drawableTopCompat, app:drawableRightCompat, app:drawableBottomCompat, app:drawableStartCompat and app:drawableEndCompat compound drawables, supporting backported drawable types such as VectorDrawableCompat.

Include this in your gradle file

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-alpha01'

In your text view you can use

app:drawableLeftCompat
app:drawableStartCompat
