App crashes on Nexus 4(4.4.4) due to background image

Question

I have set background image to root layout. This works fine for nexus 5(5.0.1) and nexus 5x(6.0.1). But on nexus 4(4.4.4) app crash and gives following errors

This is xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/backgraound">


        <ScrollView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:scrollbars="none">

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical">
       // other view
     </LinearLayout>
        </ScrollView>
    </RelativeLayout>

if i remove the background image from xml this works on nexus 4 also. How can I solve this issue?? Thanks in advance

You might have put images in drawable-v21 folder which refers to Api level 21 and above. These folders are specific for Lolipop and post Lolipop version. That is why it is not working in Kitkat or more lower versions. Put your images in drawable folder so that all api versions can access this. Happy to help...
