Rotate View Hierarchy 90 degrees

by

I had the same problem and managed to solve it.
Instead of rotating each view or the layout by hand, I used a LayoutAnimationController.

First, place a file in /res/anim/ called rotation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:toDegrees="-90"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:duration="0" android:fillAfter="true">
</rotate>

Then, in your Activity’s onCreate, do

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
  super.onCreate(icicle);

     setContentView(R.layout.myscreen);

     Animation rotateAnim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotation);
     LayoutAnimationController animController = new LayoutAnimationController(rotateAnim, 0);
     FrameLayout layout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.MyScreen_ContentLayout);
     layout.setLayoutAnimation(animController);
 }

If you want to rotate elements that lie above your camera preview view (SurfaceHolder), simply place a FrameLayout above the SurfaceHolder, place all your elements in that FrameLayout and call the Layout “MyScreen_ContentLayout”. Done.

Hope that helped someone out, took me quite a while to get everything together.
