Android Rotate Animation Example

In android, animation can be created from different ways using xml or java code. In this tutorial, I am going to show to create rotating animation using xml. To create animation using xml, first you have to create an xml file inside res/anim/ directory.

In this tutorial, I have used an image view and a button in xml layout file to rotate an image when button is clicked and you have to add little bit java code in your activity file.
