Well, it depends on your understanding of the concept of 'success';) Seriously: the reason for the test you ripped out is that Java 6 introduced a change in the way '@Override' is interpreted, one that does not mesh well with the way Android wants to use it. So you have stuff that compiled, but that is no guarantee that it will actually run correctly!
Considering what @Override actually does, however, the build you got will probably actually work, it will only be when trying to compile new Android code that you will have to no longer trust the @Override annotation to correctly flag errors. Or at least I could believe that if you also had no warnings. Did any of the warnings have anything to do with methods being re- defined? On May 25, 10:31 am, "Robert P. J.
