Here we will have three java classes and no XML files.
1. GraphicsActivity.java
2. PictureLayout.java
3. Sweep.java

At first we start with PictureLayout.java

package com.example.sweep;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Picture;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewParent;

public class PictureLayout extends ViewGroup {
    private final Picture mPicture = new Picture();

    public PictureLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public PictureLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public void addView(View child) {
        if (getChildCount() > 1) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("PictureLayout can host only one direct child");
        }

        super.addView(child);
    }

    @Override
    public void addView(View child, int index) {
        if (getChildCount() > 1) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("PictureLayout can host only one direct child");
        }

        super.addView(child, index);
    }

    @Override
    public void addView(View child, LayoutParams params) {
        if (getChildCount() > 1) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("PictureLayout can host only one direct child");
        }

        super.addView(child, params);
    }

    @Override
    public void addView(View child, int index, LayoutParams params) {
        if (getChildCount() > 1) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("PictureLayout can host only one direct child");
        }

        super.addView(child, index, params);
    }

    @Override
    protected LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams() {
        return new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        final int count = getChildCount();

        int maxHeight = 0;
        int maxWidth = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            final View child = getChildAt(i);
            if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
                measureChild(child, widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
            }
        }

        maxWidth += getPaddingLeft() + getPaddingRight();
        maxHeight += getPaddingTop() + getPaddingBottom();

        Drawable drawable = getBackground();
        if (drawable != null) {
            maxHeight = Math.max(maxHeight, drawable.getMinimumHeight());
            maxWidth = Math.max(maxWidth, drawable.getMinimumWidth());
        }

        setMeasuredDimension(resolveSize(maxWidth, widthMeasureSpec),
                resolveSize(maxHeight, heightMeasureSpec));
    }

    private void drawPict(Canvas canvas, int x, int y, int w, int h,
                          float sx, float sy) {
        canvas.save();
        canvas.translate(x, y);
        canvas.clipRect(0, 0, w, h);
        canvas.scale(0.5f, 0.5f);
        canvas.scale(sx, sy, w, h);
        canvas.drawPicture(mPicture);
        canvas.restore();
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
	@Override
    protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.dispatchDraw(mPicture.beginRecording(getWidth(), getHeight()));
        mPicture.endRecording();

        int x = getWidth()/2;
        int y = getHeight()/2;

        if (false) {
            canvas.drawPicture(mPicture);
        } else {
            drawPict(canvas, 0, 0, x, y,  1,  1);
            drawPict(canvas, x, 0, x, y, -1,  1);
            drawPict(canvas, 0, y, x, y,  1, -1);
            drawPict(canvas, x, y, x, y, -1, -1);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public ViewParent invalidateChildInParent(int[] location, Rect dirty) {
        location[0] = getLeft();
        location[1] = getTop();
        dirty.set(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
        return getParent();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
        final int count = super.getChildCount();

        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            final View child = getChildAt(i);
            if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
                final int childLeft = getPaddingLeft();
                final int childTop = getPaddingTop();
                child.layout(childLeft, childTop,
                        childLeft + child.getMeasuredWidth(),
                        childTop + child.getMeasuredHeight());

            }
        }
    }
}

Now our second java file, GraphicsActivity.java
No need to declare this activity in the Manifest since you are only extending it.

package com.example.sweep;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

class GraphicsActivity extends Activity {
    // set to true to test Picture
    private static final boolean TEST_PICTURE = false;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public void setContentView(View view) {
        if (TEST_PICTURE) {
            ViewGroup vg = new PictureLayout(this);
            vg.addView(view);
            view = vg;
        }

        super.setContentView(view);
    }
}

Now the last java class that extends the GraphicsActivity and creates the animation.
Sweep.java

package com.example.sweep;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Matrix;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Shader;
import android.graphics.SweepGradient;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class Sweep extends GraphicsActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(new SampleView(this));
    }

    private static class SampleView extends View {
        private Paint mPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        private float mRotate;
        private Matrix mMatrix = new Matrix();
        private Shader mShader;
        private boolean mDoTiming;

        public SampleView(Context context) {
            super(context);
            setFocusable(true);
            setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

            float x = 160;
            float y = 100;
            mShader = new SweepGradient(x, y, new int[] { Color.GREEN,
                                                  Color.RED,
                                                  Color.BLUE,
                                                  Color.GREEN }, null);
            mPaint.setShader(mShader);
        }

        @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
            Paint paint = mPaint;
            float x = 160;
            float y = 100;

            canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);

            mMatrix.setRotate(mRotate, x, y);
            mShader.setLocalMatrix(mMatrix);
            mRotate += 3;
            if (mRotate >= 360) {
                mRotate = 0;
            }
            invalidate();

            if (mDoTiming) {
                long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
                for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
                    canvas.drawCircle(x, y, 80, paint);
                }
                now = System.currentTimeMillis() - now;
                android.util.Log.d("skia", "sweep ms = " + (now/20.));
            }
            else {
                canvas.drawCircle(x, y, 80, paint);
            }
        }

       
    }
}
