Can gradient color in animated drawable XML?

I used gradient color in vectors. It's working. I want to use gradient color on animated vectors but it is cannot be working. I can't see a problem in my XML code. I don't know if this possible or should I use another method. If it's not possible, I want to know why.

Animated drawable file.

You could fake it. Fade out your path while fading in another path with the other gradient you want, like so:

1. make a copy of path: path2
2. set the other gradient in path2
3. set path2 fillAlpha to 0
4. make a duplicate of the path animations where you target path2
5. add a fillAlpha objectAnimation to both animations sets where fillAlpha goes from 1 to 0 and path2 fillAlpha goes from 0 to 1 instead

Ex:

<objectAnimator
    android:propertyName="fillAlpha"
    android:duration="2000"
    android:valueFrom="1"
    android:valueTo="0"
    android:valueType="floatType"
    android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/fast_out_slow_in"/>

Your full code would look something like this:
