Progress bar (circle) not rotating in Android

This question is old, however there another consideration. It was pretty easy and pretty hard to find the mistake for developer devices.

Just make sure, that your animations are active in your developer options. Activate these options:

Window animation scale: Animation scale 1x
Transition animation scale: Animation scale 1x
Animator duration scale: Animation scale 1x

for rotating image you can use custom_progress_bar.xml inside drawable folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="360"
android:drawable="@drawable/gif_loader_img1" >
</rotate> 

set up drawable to progressbar

   <ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/custom_progress_bar"/>

 <ProgressBar
        android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/loader4_progress"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        />

Create a drawable xml loader4_progress

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:drawable="@drawable/spinner"
    android:duration="1"
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:toDegrees="1080"
    />
