How to force derived class to call super method? (Like Android does)

Question

I was wondering, when creating new Activity classes and then overriding the onCreate() method, in eclipse I always get auto added: super.onCr

Answer 1

Eclipse just helps you doing things right and avoid exceptions.

From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)

Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.
