Question

I have written an application where I have a speedometer with a needle, and I am trying to rotate the needle around its center with the speed changes.

I calculate the speed values of download speed from the internet from that that angle also measured,

My Question is how to Fix the Needle one end at the center of speedometer?

How to rotate the needle with change of the angle values?

I am expected like this

here the needle not fix center position How to fix needle center of image like first image
center

Here is a custom GaugeView I wrote:

And the gauge_layout.xml layout xml file:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<AbsoluteLayout
    android:id="@+id/gaugeFrame"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:scaleType="fitXY" >
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/gaugeNeedleLay"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:scaleType="fitXY" >
    </LinearLayout>
</AbsoluteLayout></LinearLayout>

Implementation example:

final GaugeView gv=(GaugeView)findViewById(R.id.gaugeView1);
gv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.gaugeback_image);
gv.setNeedleBackgroundResource(R.drawable.needle_image);
gv.setDiameter(460);
gv.createNeedle(50,230,0,-20);
gv.setAngleRange(45,315);

UPDATE:

AbsoluteLayout is deprecated. You can replace it with RelativeLayout and some code changes.
