Generate a mirror image using Matrix.postConcat()

Generate a mirror image using Matrix.postConcat()

We can use the matrix below, with the Matrix.postConcat() to generate a mirror image about Y axis.
{ -1, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 1
};



main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
