Next, use the methods to animate the scale of a view to double the image's width and height. Cant Figure out

This is the code that i tried first and how i thought it should be set up

imageView.animate(); private void animate() { imageView.setScaleX(0); imageView.setScaleY(0); imageView.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start();
}

but then i get all of these compiler errors

JavaTester.java:64: error: ';' expected imageView.animate() ^ JavaTester.java:65: error: illegal start of expression private void animate() { ^ JavaTester.java:65: error: ';' expected private void animate() { ^ JavaTester.java:65: error: ';' expected private void animate() { ^ 4 errors

after that, based off of what the compiler errors say, i changed my code to

imageView.animate(); Private Void animate(); { imageView.setScaleX(0).setScaleY(0); imageView.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start();
}

and it eliminated all but one error

JavaTester.java:65: error: ';' expected Private Void animate(); { ^ 1 error

if i add the semicolon between the void and animate it creates a whole new error

i tried several different ways of setting it up and i cant figure it out so im ready for help

here are the different variations of what i have tried:

imageView.animate(); //<--- with and without semicolon private void animate() { imageView.setScaleX(0); imageView.setScaleY(0); imageView.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start();
}

imageView.animate(); //<--- with and without semicolon private void animate() { fab.setScaleX(0); fab.setScaleY(0); imageView.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start();
} // also fab.animate().scaleX(2).scaleY(2).start(); with one above

anyone think they can help?
