Android: Rotate image in imageview by an angle

Question

I am using the following code to rotate a image in ImageView by an angle. Is there any simpler and less complex method available.

ImageView iv = (ImageView)f         


        

Answer 1

There are two ways to do that:

1 Using Matrix to create a new bitmap:

imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Bitmap myImg = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.image);

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(30);

Bitmap rotated = Bitmap.createBitmap(myImg, 0, 0, myImg.getWidth(), myImg.getHeight(),
        matrix, true);

imageView.setImageBitmap(rotated);

2 use RotateAnimation on the View you want to Rotate, and make sure the Animation set to fillAfter=true, duration=0, and fromDegrees=toDgrees

and Inflate the Animation in code:

Animation rotation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotation);
myView.startAnimation(rotation);
