@Override
    public void onCancel() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

ERROR:The method onCancel() of type SoftKeyboard must override a superclass method SoftKeyboard.java /EmotePractice/src/com/emote line 691 Java Problem

Superclass?? I thought @Override was meant to catch errors made with grammar, why is it saying this?

Answer 1

Are you sure that the superclass you’re overriding has a method called onCancel(), with no parameters and void return type? If the answer is no, try removing the @Override annotation and see if it works for you.

The @Override annotation is used for indicating that the method is overriding an identically declared method in a superclass. From the javadocs:

@Override Indicates that a method declaration is intended to override a method declaration in a superclass. If a method is annotated with this annotation type but does not override a superclass method, compilers are required to generate an error message.
