Create custom spinner in xml layout

I want to create a custom spinner that I want to re-use throughout my app. Hence, I want to create my spinner as an xml layout file (i.e. /layout/custom_spinner.xml). I have already created by drawable list

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:oneshot="false">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust1" android:duration="200" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust2" android:duration="200" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust3" android:duration="200" />
</animation-list>

Now I need to know how to place it inside my spinner. The typical xml spinner looks like this

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/spinner"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:visibility="invisible" />

How do I accomplish what I want?

EDIT:

The following basically works, but it shows four progress spinners/bars instead of one in the center.

 <ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/spinner"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:indeterminate="true"
    android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/my_icon"
    android:visibility="visible" />

The term Spinner in android refers to something other than a ProgressBar.

However, look at the setProgressDrawable(Drawable d) and setIndeterminateDrawable(Drawable d) methods.

You will need to remove this line

style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"

EDIT:

<rotate android:drawable="@drawable/my_icon" android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fromDegrees="0" android:toDegrees="360" />

I can't find the specific rotate drawable info in the docs so I am unsure what it needs to be wrapped in, if anything.
