title: Rotate ad view with API 8
body: <p>I am using OpenGL in a RenderSurface View in my android game. The Game uses landscape as screen orientation but I want to place the ad  90° rotated at the bottom of the phone. (As it would be if I use portrait as screen orientation)</p>
  
  <p>This is the only way I can place the ad without making the game unplayable on small screens. I maneged to do this with:</p>
  
  <p><code>View.rotate(..)</code> </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that this function is first available with the API Level 11.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is there any workaround to to this with API Level 8?</li>
  <li>I have already tried a rotate animation but touch events are not delivered correctly. (The 
  adview prevents a workaround)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I would reduce my user base dramatically if my game is only playable with Android 3.0.</p>
