Cannot override the final method from PApplet error

mmk

I am getting the above said issue. The code is given below:

boolean sketchFullScreen() { return true; //return false; } void screen { size(displayWidth, displayHeight, P3D); }

Please suggest a solution to solve the issue.

1. sketchFullScreen() is a final method in PApplet. It is method that is marked "final" -- you can see it here:

   • https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java#L1069

2. "final" means you cannot override it.

3. you are overriding it in your code.

    boolean sketchFullScreen() { return true; }
   

4. But you cannot override it, because it is final!

That is why you are getting the error. Solution: don't override it.
