Question

I\'ve been learning Android for about two weeks now (expert in as2/3).

I have created a simple LinearLayout1, which contains anImageView`, containing a png

Answer 1

Actually thats because you try to rotate a view in a linear layout. And this will cause its dedicated space to expand or shrink.

Idea 1: try using a frame layout have and your view rotate inside there Idea 2: try a custom view subclass and draw your turntable in the onDraw. In the internet look for a compass drawing example for start.
