Rotating a view in Android

Question

I have a button that I want to put on a 45 degree angle. For some reason I can't get this to work.

Can someone please provide the code to accomplish this?

Answer 1

API 11 added a setRotation() method to all views.

Answer 2

You could create an animation and apply it to your button view. For example:

    // Locate view     ImageView diskView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView3);      // Create an animation instance     Animation an = new RotateAnimation(0.0f, 360.0f, pivotX, pivotY);      // Set the animation's parameters     an.setDuration(10000);               // duration in ms     an.setRepeatCount(0);                // -1 = infinite repeated     an.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); // reverses each repeat     an.setFillAfter(true);               // keep rotation after animation      // Aply animation to image view     diskView.setAnimation(an);
