Question

I created an anim.xml file such as below to shake imageview like IOS icon shaking in android.
However it does not provide me same result.
Is there any better idea?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="300"

    android:fromDegrees="-2"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:repeatCount="infinite"
    android:toDegrees="2" />

Answer 1

Try setting android:repeatMode="reverse". Below animation gives a very reasonable immitation on my Galaxy Nexus. Obviously you can fine tune the parameters to your own liking.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="100"
    android:fromDegrees="-5"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:repeatCount="infinite"
    android:repeatMode="reverse"
    android:toDegrees="5" />
