Background image for button not loading in android

Question

I have an android application with a main menu containing buttons with a background image

Code:

    <Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="300sp"
    android:layout_height="45sp"
    android:background="@drawable/aqua"
    android:text="This is a button"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF"

    />

The image loads up in android above 5.0 but does not load up in android Kitkat and jellybean. I'm using android studio.

consider using a lower resolution drawable. it might just be that your file size is too big
