Require override of method to call super

Question

I want that when a child class overrides a method in a parent class, the super.method() is called in that child method.

Is there any way to check this a

Answer 1

For the Android Developers out there, you can simply use the @CallSuper annotation.

Sample:

public class BaseClass {
  @CallSuper
  public void myMethod() {
    //do base required thing
  }
}

On the overriding class:

public class OverridingClass extends BaseClass{

    @Override
    public void myMethod(){
        super.myMethod(); //won't compile if super is not called
        //do overring thing here
    }
}
