Hi Lee

animate() method is the easiest form of animation for views. It allows us to configure the animation using method chaining called straight from the a view Object.

See the code solution for this challenge below; Since you are not creating a new method you don't need the return type(void).

Simply call animate() from the imageView.

scaleX() is the width while scaleY() is the height. To double the height and the width you just put a 2. Don't forget to call start() method so that the animation can go live.

Cheers

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