In this tutorial how to perform Rotation in Tween Animation in Android is shown.
Points to Remember:
- For creating the rotation.xml file you will have to first create anim folder under res folder.
- At the time of creating rotation.xml file you can either select ‘rotate’ or ‘set’ as Root Element.
- You can also perform clockwise and anticlockwise rotation separately, for that you will have to create another file in anim folder, and don’t write the ‘android:startOffset’ property in this file else it will start the anticlockwise rotation after some delay.
Code:
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”

android:layout_width=”match_parent”
android:layout_height=”match_parent”
android:paddingBottom=”@dimen/activity_vertical_margin”
android:paddingLeft=”@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin”
android:paddingRight=”@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin”
android:paddingTop=”@dimen/activity_vertical_margin”
tools:context=”.MainActivity” >
<ImageView
android:id=”@+id/imageView1″
android:layout_width=”wrap_content”

<Button
