Add a background image to shape in XML Android

Question

How do you add a background image to a shape? The code I tried below but no success:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
//here is where i need to set the image
<solid android:color="@drawable/button_image"/>
    <corners
     android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
     android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
     android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
     android:topRightRadius="5dp"/>
 </shape>

Use following layerlist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
            <corners
                 android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
                 android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
                 android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
                 android:topRightRadius="5dp"/>
         </shape>
   </item>
   <item android:drawable="@drawable/image_name_here" />
</layer-list>
