How to rotate a view along the x axis

Question

I want to rotate the view along the x axis. I tried to do the following:

AnimationSet anim=new AnimationSet(true);
RotateAnimation rotate=new      RotateAnimation(0.0f,-10.0f,RotateAnimation.ABSOLUTE,0.5f,RotateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,0.5f);
rotate.setFillAfter(true);
rotate.setDuration(5000);
rotate.setRepeatCount(0);
anim.addAnimation(rotate);
View relatv1=(View)findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout1);
relatv1.setAnimation(anim);

but instead, the view rotates along its y axis. How can I rotate the x axis?

Answer 1

Use ObjectAnimator as follows:

    ObjectAnimator animation = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "rotationX", 0.0f, 360f);
    animation.setDuration(5000);
    animation.setRepeatCount(ObjectAnimator.INFINITE);
    animation.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
    animation.start();

Answer 2

The class ObjectAnimatorrotates along the axis for the view, which is passed as an argument to the method ofFloat.

If you want to rotate the view only once, do not set the number of repetitions.

The answer from "its-tomweber" works fine.
