Research direction

Investigate how Fresco currently handles Drawable resources, specifically the DraweeController and PipelineDraweeController. Look at existing support for other drawable types. The issue mentions v21 and AppCompat already support VectorDrawable for API 9+, so research how to integrate that into Fresco's resource loading. Check if there are any related PRs or comments in the issue that hint at the approach. The implementation likely requires adding a method to convert vector drawable resources to Android Drawable objects within Fresco's drawable hierarchy.
