I ran into the exact same issue. You can exclude those parameters (framesCount and frameDuration), and it may work for you. I tried just excluding them and it animated fine, but the width/height I was setting were not being respected, so I ended up creating a simple rotation animation and an ImageView to apply it to. Here's the animation file (res/anim/clockwise_rotation.xml):

Then you just inflate your Animation, set repeat count, and start it from the View

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