Cannot override the final method from AbstractInputMethodService

Question

I have a service class that extends InputMethodService. When i want to bind this service to my ActivityMain, at code below i get the "Cannot override the final method from AbstractInputMethodService" error.

public class MyIME extends InputMethodService
    implements KeyboardView.OnKeyboardActionListener, OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {

 //some code here...
@Override
public IBinder onBind( Intent intent ) {

    return binder;
}

What is this error and how to fix it?

as stated by the message, you can not override a `final` method.. — , Feb 21 '16 at 14:19

onBind() is declared as final in AbstractInputMethodService. You cannot override it.

Delete your onBind() method.
