title: Android flip front camera mirror flipped video
body: <p>I'm trying to record a video from Android's front camera while displaying on surface view as well. </p>
  
  <p>What I found out with the front camera is that it mirror flips the video during recording, even though the surface view shows a normal view.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can prevent this or fix it?</p>
  
  <p>I read upon other stackoverflow articles like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10388789/how-to-keep-android-from-inverting-the-image-from-the-front-facing-camera/17570037#17570037">How to keep android from inverting the image from the front facing camera?</a></p>
  
  <p>But it seems to be only talking about taking photos with the front camera and reversing the image, which I already fixed using matrix myself. However, it seems like using a matrix for a video does not work.</p>
