Mirror a video displayed by surfaceview

Hi All,

I have a SurfaceView in android app that displays a video from a camera connected to a phone via bluetooth.
I would like to be able to horizontally mirror/flip the video after decoding it. By mirroring I mean for instance, If there's a chair showing on the left i would like to show it on the right of the screen, this is mirroring.
I know for a fact SurfaceView inherits View so I tried setScaleX(-1) with no luck

Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

What I have tried:

in iOS I have achieved this by the following sample code:

AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer.transform = CATransform3DMakeScale(-1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

I was hoping that android has something similar but SurfaceView doesn't have transform property. I have tried:

surfaceView.setScaleX(-1);
surfaceView.setScaleY(-1);
surfaceView.setRotationX();
