Android mirror vector drawable

Issue

I use a material icon (ic_play_arrow_black_24dp), imported it with the vector studio.

Now I want the arrow to point in the other direction as well, without creating a second vector. Is this possible in xml and how?

I use the drawable in two Floating Action Button, one for next the other for previous.

Edit here is the fab button's XML. I tried already rotation and scale, but it didn´t work

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/previous"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
    android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="80dp"
    android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
    android:src="@drawable/next_prev_24dp"
    app:layout_anchor="@id/next"
    app:layout_anchorGravity="left" />

Solution

For those who Use ImageView or TextView or EditText Scale works perfectly. Use

android:scaleX="-1" //To flip horizontally or
android:scaleY="-1" //To flip vertically

OR Try

android:rotationX="180" // for horizontal
android:rotationY="180" // for vertical

OR Simply rotation="180" for vertical

android:rotation="180" // for vertical

Edit: Additional
If you want to flip/mirror icons/drawable when changing language RTL/LTR ("Right To Left"/"Left To Right"), there is a nice way of doing so in android vector drawable just check the ckeckbox Enable auto mirroring for RTL layout.

=> Right Click on drawable folder => New => Vector Asset => Select drawable => check the Checkbox
