Animations and transitions Android

Hi, I'm facing this simple task on Animations and Transitions but it looks like I can't figure out how to proceed.

This is what I've been asked to do:

"Next, use the methods to animate the scale of a view to double the image's width and height. Remember that this is a fluent interface, meaning you can chain methods one after another."

This is what I've tried:

// Use the variable named 'imageView' int x = imageView.getScaleX(); int y = imageView.getScaleY(); imageView.animate().scaleX(x*2).scaleY(y*2).start();

But I get compile errors.

What's the deal?

Found your answer took sometime but here it is.

imageView.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start();
