Hi guys, 

I've some deck to review my Japanese, my cards are "basic and reversed" and I would like to flip them sometimes for reviewing.
How can I do that ?
I found the option on Anki desktop but not on Ankidroid.

Thank you a lot for helping me.

Prm

That doesn't answer the question.

I don't understand... If you're using the basic and reversed card type then you already have cards going in both directions. What do you want to flip, and why?

It sounds like there's an error in your basic and reversed card template.
Go to "manage note types" from the main menu on the deck list, long click on the note type, and choose edit cards. Post screenshots of the template for both cards if you can't spot the problem yourself.

I just had the same problem but I figured that out
Go check this video start from 3:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnbKwHEQ1mA&yt%3Acc=on 
When you create cards with "basic and reversed" on Ankidroid, you will have 2 version, one normal and one reversed, but you are not gonna see the reversed one simply because they have a different due date, so you will need to following the instruction on the video to change the due date.

https://docs.ankidroid.org/#settings says SPACE, ENTER shortcut for flip... sily isn't, when reviewing a deck one does benefit from the absokute absence of a keybord hihihiiii:)
ahhhahahahahahah:D guys, whenever you understand the initial question, I would really welcome the answer! seems ankidroid manual writer think in a new brainy way, mine must be outdated.

Hi,

"Show Answer" flips the card, which shows the back of the card first, instead of the front.

If you want to create a card where the back is on the front, edit a note, and change the "Type" from "Basic" to "Basic (and reversed)", you can also select this option on card creation.

We'll improve the documentation, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

All the best, thanks for using AnkiDroid,

David
