Incorrect rendering of SVG image

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Render the attached SVG file. When I rotate my tablet, causing the image to 
repeatedly render to the Canvas, I see different results. Mainly the errors 
consist of different areas of the face being incorrectly shaded. There is also 
frequently a line across the ear on the left side of the image.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Shading does not look quite right, as if colors were being reused in the wrong 
place. At least once (see attached) many polygons were missing and the 
background showed through.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

android-svg-1.2.1 on a Nexus 7, Android 4.4.2. Problem also exhibits on a 
Motorola Xoom, Android 4.1.2.

Hi. Thanks for the report.

I have a suspicion this might be a duplicate of Issue 25.  I have just realised 
that fix did not get backported to 1.2.1.

In any case I'll check this out tomorrow and release an update.

My test app is rendering this fine.  Are you drawing this to the screen 
yourself, or are you using SVGImageView to do it?

I'm drawing it myself with SVG.renderToCanvas(). I already had a view class 
that used svg-android, and I rewrote it to use androidsvg. I can attach this 
class if that would help.

The issue went away when I modified my class to render into a Bitmap on a 
separate thread. I'm not sure what the practical difference is but it renders 
just fine 100% of the time now.

Closing this issue.  Turns out that the SVG was being rendered using the 
hardware 2D renderer and it was limitations of the hardware renderer that were 
causing the artifacts.
