override

(Newbie to Java, old time C# guy.)

I have noticed a lot of the use of @Override in Android example code. I thought that all Java methods were by default "Virutal"?

What then does @Override do?

Example:

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    view.loadUrl(url);
    return true;
}

}
