layout_animation_from_bottom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layoutAnimation

The file "layout_animation_from_bottom.xml" has a syntax error in it -> version and encoding are not strings. This is how it's supposed to look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layoutAnimation
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:animation="@anim/item_animation_from_bottom"
    android:delay="15%"
    android:animationOrder="normal"
/>

Even though you posted a comment with the updated version, your proandroiddev article doesn't reflect that crucial change, this is what the article displays:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?>
<layoutAnimation
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:animation="@anim/item_animation_from_bottom"
    android:delay="15%"
    android:animationOrder="normal"
/>
