Is there a way to animate (rotating) my application item within a layer-list definition?

Issue

Currently I have the following drawable (splash.xml) definition:

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

    <item
        android:drawable="@color/grey_300"/>

    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:gravity="center"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
    </item>

</layer-list>

I'm using that for a splash screen by defining an activity as follows:

    <activity
        android:name=".SplashActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/SplashTheme">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

That style comes from styles.xml:

<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash</item>
</style>

, I was wondering if I could some how animate the logo centered on screen (maybe rotating it). What would be the best way to reach it? I already tried to play a bit with animated-rotate inside item element but no success until now.

Solution

Maybe this will help:

I noticed you used this guide. However, someone asked him in comments if he can add animation to his splash screen, his answer was:

It's not possible to do an animation with the splash screen pattern that I've listed above. The animation would only be available when the app has already loaded.

Outside of this, you can animate a layer list. Just apply it as the background on some view and animate that view.
