Android, make scrollable view overflow to the left instead of right?

Question

I was recommended using a parent view to get horizontal scrolling right in my TextView:

Answer 1

I'm quite late at this, but here's a simple and easy approach by using rotation of the views.

horizontal_layout_id.setRotationY(180f)

The above code inverts the whole horizontal layout horizontally, this make the text start on the right instead of left. HOWEVER, this also inverts the text in the textview inside, which is obviously not good.

textview_inside_horizontal_layout_id.setRotationY(180f)

So, we invert the textview itself once more, this will mirror the mirrored text again! So, you'll end up having something like this-

This will make the text overflow to the right instead of left as well!
