The answer is to also make fromDegrees="45". I thought from/toDegrees referred to point 0 and point "n" of the line, but it refers to animation. The rotate XML node is an animation. So you're telling it to move it from 45 degrees to 45 degrees (there's no other way to rotate a line in XML layout). Just set the duration of the animation to 0.
