Call to inherited method looks like call to local method
Reports calls to a superclass method from an anonymous, inner or local class, if a method with the same signature exists in the code surrounding the class. In this case it may seem that a method from the surrounding code is called, when in fact it is a call to a method from the superclass.
To clarify the intent of the code, it is recommended to add an explicit super qualifier to the method call.
Example:
class Parent {
void ambiguous(){}
}
class Example {
void ambiguous(){}
class Inner extends Parent {
void example(){
ambiguous(); //warning
}
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
class Parent {
void ambiguous(){}
}
class Example {
void ambiguous(){}
class Inner extends Parent {
void example(){
super.ambiguous();
}
}
}
