Finally, create a third set to play the first two sets one after another. The alpha and move animations should go first,

I am failing to pick the correct set for the method playSequentially(); my you please help me. I am stuck

CodeChallenge.java 
ObjectAnimator fadeInAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(button, View.ALPHA, 0, 1);
fadeInAnimator.setDuration(1000);

ObjectAnimator moveUpAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(button, "top", buttonTop, 16);
moveUpAnimator.setDuration(1000);

ObjectAnimator scaleXAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(button, "scaleX", 1.0f, 1.5f);
scaleXAnimator.setDuration(300);

ObjectAnimator scaleYAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(button, "scaleY", 1.0f, 1.5f);
scaleYAnimator.setDuration(300);

// Add code below!
AnimatorSet set = new AnimatorSet();
set.playTogether(fadeInAnimator, moveUpAnimator, scaleXAnimator, scaleYAnimator);

AnimatorSet scale = new AnimatorSet();
scale.playTogether(scaleXAnimator, scaleYAnimator);

AnimatorSet animatorSet = new AnimatorSet();
animatorSet.playSequentially(fadeInAnimator, moveUpAnimator);
animatorSet.start();

You need to use the two sets you created in the challenge (and the first set needs to be just the fadeIn and move, without the scaling).

// Add code below!
AnimatorSet fadeAndMove = new AnimatorSet();
set.playTogether(fadeInAnimator, moveUpAnimator);

AnimatorSet scale = new AnimatorSet();
scale.playTogether(scaleXAnimator, scaleYAnimator);

AnimatorSet animatorSet = new AnimatorSet();
animatorSet.playSequentially(fadeAndMove, scale);
animatorSet.start();

//hey seth u forgot to use ur object

AnimatorSet fadeAndMove = new AnimatorSet(); fadeAndMove.playTogether(fadeInAnimator, moveUpAnimator);

AnimatorSet scale = new AnimatorSet(); scale.playTogether(scaleXAnimator, scaleYAnimator);

AnimatorSet animatorSet = new AnimatorSet(); animatorSet.playSequentially(fadeAndMove, scale);
