static - Rotating ImageView in Android < API Level 11

Question

So in API Level 11 Google introduced the ability to rotate an ImageView (Yay, after they introduced the possibility to Animate such a rotation, yay smart thinking, yay!)

But how should I go about to rotate an ImageView using e.g. API level 8? I can't use setRotation() as described above.

Answer 1

RotationAnimation was present since Api level 1

RotateAnimation animation = new RotateAnimation(from, to,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
animation.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
animation.setDuration(1);
animation.setFillAfter(true);

imageView.startAnimation(animation );
