Why I can't override handleMessage method when I initialize a Handler object?

Question

• It should be like this :

   Handler handler = new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { super.handleMessage(msg); } };

• However,in my IDE,it must be overrided like this:

   Handler handler = new Handler() { @Override public void close() { } @Override public void flush() { } @Override public void publish(LogRecord logRecord) { } };

And it seems that the Handler object here doesn't support such method called "handleMessage".

What should I do?

Answer 1

That's a name conflict between different Handler classes.

The first Handler you mention seems to be a javax.xml.ws.handler.Handler docs or a android.os.Handlerdoc , both of which have a handleMessage method to override.

The second Handler seems like it is a java.util.logging.Handler docs that has the methods you mention
