Failed to parse file while assigning a shape to background

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <gradient>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"                          android:shape="rectangle" >
    <gradient 
    android:type="linear"
    android:centerX="35%" 
    android:startColor="#FF4D0000" 
    android:centerColor="#FF4D0000" 
    android:endColor="#FFe5f011" 
    android:angle="225"/>
    </shape>

    <shape xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"    android:shape="rectangle" >
    <gradient 
    android:type="radial"
    android:centerX="50%" 
    android:centerY="50%" 
    android:startColor="#FF4D0000" 
    android:centerColor="#FF4D0000" 
    android:endColor="#FFe5f011" 
    android:gradientRadius="35"/>
</shape>
</gradient>

And here is the shape that I have formed called gradient and the way I assigned it, is:

android:background="@drawable/gradient"
