Question

In alot of android examples they have me overriding function that don’t seem to exist because the @override says it must override a superclass. This happens almost everytime in eclipse. I can normally just remove it and it appears to work.

here is an example from an OpenGl example

public class MultisampleConfigChooser implements GLSurfaceView.EGLConfigChooser {
static private final String kTag = "GDC11";
@Override
public EGLConfig chooseConfig(EGL10 egl, EGLDisplay display) {

it tells me chooseConfig needs to override a superClass can anybody tell me what im missing?

thanks

Edit: i don’t think it is the JDK because there are other things overridden that are not giving errors. it is mainly just any opengl examples but its happened for like 4 different ones the first few just worked if i commented them out but some of them have like 20 overridden functions and im just trying to get it to run to see how it functions.

It has to do with you “compiler compliance level” setting. You probably have it set to 1.5 or lower. Set it to 1.6 to get rid of the errors.
