Could not generate a preview when trying to add new vector asset

After convert my image from png to svg, I am trying to use vector asset to generate a svg file. But androidstudio always shows "Could not generate a preview" and I cant go forward. Like this: Android Studio Vector asset always could not generate a preview

I tested almost all online converters, but none of them seems to work in android. I heard that I can fix the svg file editing it, but I dont know where is the problem!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="138px" height="12px" viewBox="0 0 138 12" enable-background="new 0 0 138 12" xml:space="preserve">  <image id="image0" width="138" height="12" x="0" y="0"

VectorDrawables are intended for icons with vector paths in them. Your SVG is not one of those. All it contains is a PNG bitmap image of four circles. It is not taking any advantage of the power that SVGs (and VectorDrawables) offer.

VectorDrawables do not support bitmap images. If you want to make an SVG that will convert, you will need to use some sort of vector editor and redraw your SVG so that it consists of four vector circles.
