fadeOutAnimation

I don't understand where I going wrong. This is the quiz I was working on which I believe is correct. However I get a compiler error on the last line pointing at the period (.) before the setFillAfter. Can some explain this error. thanks Daniel

TextView statusLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.statusLabel);
AlphaAnimation fadeOutAnimation = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);
fadeOutAnimation.setDuration(1000);
fadeOutAnimation.setFillAfter(true);

One problem is that the duration should be 2 seconds at this point in the challenge. Then, the task you are on at this point is asking you to "use the 'setAnimation()' method of the statusLabel variable". The instructions spell it out pretty clearly, so get rid of your setFillAfter() line (it is not needed in this code challenge) and see if you can get the correct line from the instructions. If you continue to have trouble with it pop back in here and we'll help you get past it. :)
