Shaking things up

howdy again, im doing the shaking things up part of the android crystal ball app and am getting errors in the code with ShakeDetector.java and MainActivity.java, its just one line on each where it doesnt like the @Override

for both errors it suggests the override be removed and on hover it states..

"The method onShake() of type new ShakeDetector.OnShakeListener(){} must override a superclass method"

ive even tried copying and pasting the project files but got the same error

help much appreciated

To resolve this issue, Go to your Project properties -> Java compiler -> Select compiler compliance level to 1.6-> Apply.

This worked for me.
