Question

Should I put the @Override tag if I am implementing a method of an interface? I know @Override tag should be there when you override a method of super class (not an interface). But how about implementing a method of an interface?

Answer 1

Well, yes:

You should use @Override whenever
possible. It prevents simple mistakes
from being made. Example:

@Override
public boolean equals(MyObject mObj){
    // code ...
}

This doesn’t compile because it
doesn’t properly override equals.

The same will go for methods that
implement an interface (1.6 and above
only) or override a Super class’s
method.
