How to spin an android icon on its center point?

Question

I have written the following to spin my icon on the center of the screen and instead it rotates around the upper-left corner (i.e., origin x=0, y=0 of the ImageView). It should be simple to set some attributes of the ImageView or the RotateAnimation, but I can't figure it out.

public class IconPromoActivity extends Activity {
    private static final float ROTATE_FROM = 0.0f;
    private static final float ROTATE_TO = -10.0f * 360.0f;// 3.141592654f * 32.0f;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        ImageView favicon = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.favicon);

        RotateAnimation r; // = new RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO);
        r = new RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO, 0, 0, 40, 0);
        r.setDuration((long) 2*1500);
        r.setRepeatCount(0);
        favicon.startAnimation(r);
    }
}

Try: r = new RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);

Can you explain this. So that we can easily modify according to our needs. – Zar E Ahmer May 05 '15 at 07:52

This works for me:

img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);
RotateAnimation rotateAnimation = new RotateAnimation(30, 90,
    Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);

How would you add this to a image so that it continuously rotates until you tell it to stop. – Zapnologica Mar 13 '14 at 13:52
`rotationAnimation.setDuration(Animation.INFINITE);` and when you want to stop the animation: `ImageView myRotatingImage = (ImageView) mRoot.findViewById(R.id.my_rotating_image);` `myRotatingImage.clearAnimation();` – guy.gc Mar 29 '14 at 13:46

It's not work: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Animation duration cannot be negative – Omid Omidi Aug 10 '14 at 05:23

You can use - rotateAnimation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); – AnkitRox Feb 06 '15 at 05:09

Here is the full example

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MainActivityMvpModel {
    ImageView imageViewThumb;

    private static final float ROTATE_FROM = 30.0f;
    private static final float ROTATE_TO = 360.0f;
    RotateAnimation r; // = new RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO);

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        buttonTest= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_test);

        imageViewThumb= (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.icon_thumb);
        imageViewThumb.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                r = new RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
                r.setDuration((long) 2*500);
                r.setRepeatCount(0);
                imageViewThumb.startAnimation(r);

                imageViewThumb.setColorFilter(R.color.colorThumbPressed);
            }
        });
    }
}

I modified it to ROTATE_FROM = 0.0f and ROTATE_TO = 45.0f; this again reverts back to the original orientation — vijay kumar, Jan 20 '21 at 11:20

private fun showLoader() {
        binding.pbLoader.visibility = View.VISIBLE
        val ROTATE_FROM = 0.0f;
        val ROTATE_TO = 360.0f;
        val rotateAnimation = RotateAnimation(ROTATE_FROM, ROTATE_TO, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,
            0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f)
        rotateAnimation.duration = 2.toLong() * 1500
        rotateAnimation.repeatCount = Animation.INFINITE
        binding.pbLoader.startAnimation(rotateAnimation)
    }
