android:adjustViewBounds="true" is not being accepted by the system. I have it in ImageView.

The quiz is giving me a hard time at the moment. I don't understand why android:adjustViewBounds="true" isn't sufficient.

activity_main.xml 
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:scaleType="fitEnd"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"  
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/grumpy_cat"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

    <EditText

        android:hint="Enter a caption"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView"

        android:adjustViewBounds = "true"      
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
