Compiler Error creating new scene for transition animation (but no Preview button to see the error in the challenge)

This code challenge is throwing me an error, and I'm not sure why. Since there's no preview button, I can't see what exactly is throwing the error. Any idea what may be throwing the error? Thanks in advance!

CodeChallenge.java 
// Add your code below!
ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);
Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneLayout(root, R.layout.transition_scene_2, view.getContext());

I couldn' get a preview button either. The following code passed:

ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);
Scene newScene = Scene.getSceneForLayout(root, R.layout.transition_scene_2, this.getContext());

I feel like there's context missing in the explanation.

Awesome, that definitely works. I feel like there's a bit of context missing too, but I get it now. Thanks!
