I've seen how this is done for linear gradients, like this answer: can we make multi color gradient in xml for android background?
Every time I try this for a radial gradient the viewport fails to render, so I thought maybe my syntax was wrong since using the aapt:attr tag does not give any autocomplete suggestions. I would deeply appreciate any help please.
Yes, it's possible to create a vector drawable with multi-color radial gradient.
The easiest way is probably to import an existing vector asset (such as SVG) using the Vector Studio tool.
Here's an example drawable:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:aapt="http://schemas.android.com/aapt"
android:width="100dp"
android:height="100dp"
android:viewportWidth="100"
android:viewportHeight="100">
<path android:pathData="M50,50m-50,0a50,50 0,1 1,100 0a50,50 0,1 1,-100 0">
<aapt:attr name="android:fillColor">
<gradient
android:centerX="50"
android:centerY="50"
android:gradientRadius="50"
android:type="radial">
<item android:offset="0" android:color="#FFFF0000"/>
<item android:offset="0.33" android:color="#FF008000"/>
<item android:offset="0.66" android:color="#FF0000FF"/>
<item android:offset="1" android:color="#FFFF0000"/>
</gradient>
</aapt:attr>
</path>
</vector>
