Question

I am writing the code of an android activity that will display thumbnails of images stored on the phone in a grid view. When a picture is selected, a custom dialog pops up. This dialog box displays a bigger version of the image in an image view, as well as a Cancel Button that directs the user back to the picture collection display and a Select Button that will start a next activity. When I put an override in the Cancel.setOnClickListener Method, the compiler says it’s an error and recommends that I remove it. When I remove it, the compiler complains again and says that an override is needed. Can any body help me please? Any help would be appreciated.

@Override for interfaces began in Java 6, so make sure you are compiling with the right source target and JDK.

If you are getting an error without @Override then it sounds like you have a spelling error. @Override is always optional.
