Rendering problems with tile background

I want to make repeating background in my application. I got a .png file named old_mathematics.png and put it inside drawable.

I created following .xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"
android:src="@drawable/old_mathematics"
android:tileMode="repeat" /> 

But when I choose this .xml as a background for my layout.xml I get RenderingProblems in my Android Studio. Also if I run app I see no background on the device. Here is the stack:
