Hi, As mentioned by Marcin and Kevin, this is to notify the compiler that you are over-riding a method from it's base/parent/super class. The @ syntax is Java's (5.x and later, if I'm not mistaken), method of denoting meta data markup attribute, similar to the [ ] syntax in C#.
If you're looking for more Java info, "Java for Android" (see: http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Java-Android-Development-Friesen/dp/1430231564/ ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1298501972&sr=1-1), is quite good. I have no ties to the author, but I own a copy and have found it useful for brushing up on Java language and syntax. It's well written. For Android specific stuff, you'll need to read up on the Android platform. Manning has some great books available. - Scott On 11-02-23 5:45 PM, "Marcin Orlowski" <[email protected]> wrote: >On 23 February 2011 01:13, Jeraldo <[email protected]> wrote: >> hi, im just starting to learn android development. i have dont have >> much background with java. my question is what does the "@override" >> mean when developing android apps? > >http://tinyurl.com/ycq4gy2 > >-- >Regards, >Marcin > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >Groups "Android Developers" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected] >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
