i had a question while programming for android, i just want to know if there is a way to flip all my android app in order to see it like a mirror.

The main idea is to have my app flipped, in order to see it in a mirror , and that it looks normal for me after reflecting in the mirror.

Sorry if im not very specific, but any idea or documment will be apreciated, also i dont know how to look for that information, so i couldnt look deeper for more information.

Thanks in advance.

NOT a Mirror Effect:

I suggest another way:

Add reverseLandscape to manifest

<activity
        ...
        android:screenOrientation="reverseLandscape" />

This way statusbar will rotate too.
