The problem with vector images on Android 4

Hello. A few days I can not figure out why using vector xml icons on Android 4 crashes.

Here is the markup itself

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/main_activity_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:background="@drawable/bg" tools:context="app.second.MainActivity"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/btn_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical"> <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btn1" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/square_blue_btn" android:padding="20dp" app:srcCompat="@drawable/icon_btn" /> <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btn2" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/square_blue_btn" android:padding="20dp" app:srcCompat="@drawable/icon_btn" /> <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btn3" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/square_blue_btn" android:padding="20dp" app:srcCompat="@drawable/icon_btn" /> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> 

As a background, these images have vector icons in xml drawable form. In particular, the square_btn icon has this markup.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:width="150dp" android:height="150dp" android:viewportWidth="150"

Tell me please. How can you specify vector images in android lower than 5 as a background image?
