Error while creating OnResume() and OnPause()

I'm getting the following errors

//Starts here-->
Multiple markers at this line - Syntax error, insert "EnumBody" to complete BlockStatement - Syntax error, insert "enum Identifier" to complete EnumHeaderName - Syntax error on token "void", @ expected

What to fix?

I hope christopherbasinger can help here. :D

Here's the code

...

            @Override
    public void onResume(){
        super.onResume();
        mSensorManager.registerListener(mShakeDetector, mAccelerometer,
                SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause(){
        super.onPause();
        mSensorManager.unregisterListener(mShakeDetector);
    }

...

Error: The error is coming on both the methods.

... Multiple markers at this line - Syntax error, insert "EnumBody" to complete BlockStatement - Syntax error, insert "enum Identifier" to complete EnumHeaderName - Syntax error on token "void", @ expected ...

Well I figured out the answer. By mistake, I'd put the above two functions within "OnCreate()" method.
