Keep in mind that the origin of a bitmap draw operation is the upper left
corner of the bitmap. So is the origin of canvas (unless you change it with
a transformation matrix).
When you tell canvas to render everything flipped horizontally and draw the
bitmap on the canvas at (0;0) the bitmap will be rendered outside the
canvas to the left. Just imagine that all pixel coordinates of canvas are
multiplied by your scale values. Your x-axis scale value gives every
pixel's x-coordinate a negative sign. So every pixel on the visible side of
the canvas is flipped alongside the left edge of the canvas and become
invisible. You need to translate the bitmap horizontally to compensate for
that.
You can set an additional postTranslate on the transformation matrix. Or
you could set the x-coordinate of the bitmap draw operation accordingly.
Matrix flipmatrix = new Matrix();
flipmatrix.setScale(-1, 1);
flipmatrix.postTranslate(-canvas.getWidth(), 0);
I haven't tried that myself and I'm sometimes also a bad with affine matrix
calculations. I'm not sure about the negative sign of canvas.getWidth() so
you probably need to play around a bit with that.
You also probably should try a plain bitmap draw operation without source
and target rect but just coordinates in order to see if that works for you.
