I usually design for Mobile and smart devices. as different mobile devices have different screen sizes, using adaptability felt like a good option. I created an adaptive layout, with the fonts and everything sizing with the screen size through css and some neat jquery. When i had to have some icons, i thought of using SVG and they turned out beautifully. Scaling with the page width etc.
I was rudely interrupted with my design dream, when i found out on previewing that the svgs were NOTWORKING on andriod. and now im stuck. I guess andriod just decided not to support svg for some reason. Its working find on all IOS devices though.
The only version of andriod that did support was the ice cream sandwich but thats no good as a lot of users are still using older versions and not having andriod support means i have to think of another way to do this without SVG. any ideas ?
