Question

I am occurring error like:

“The method onClick(View) of type oddg must override a superclass
method”.

I am confused where exactly error has occurred.
Can you please guide me, what exactly error is?

public class oddg extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{
        ProgressDialog dialog;
        int increment;
        int maximum ;
        private static final String TAG = "ServicesDemo";

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.main1);
            Button startbtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startbtn);
            startbtn.setOnClickListener(this);

        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0)
        { }
}

This is my code…
Thanks in Advance–

I think the problem is that you’re compiler settings are set to Java 1.5 instead of Java 1.6. Since Java 1.6 the annotation @Override is not only possible for inherited methods from a superclass but also for implemented methods from an interface. But if your compiler is still set to 1.5 the problem is that he will check if you’re overwriting a method from a super class. In your example this is not the case since you’re implementing a method from an interface.

As a side note it would be good to follow Java Naming Conventions in your code. So all classes begin with an upper case letter.
