Android super.onTouch

I am adding a touch listener to a view.

here is the code:

    view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            return super.onTouch(v, event);
        }
    });

But I keep getting the error:

The method onTouch(View, MotionEvent) is undefined for the type Object.

Why do I keep getting this error. Is there something I need to add to my app to make it work?

You must not call super in the onTouch-Method: Instead return false or true like you need it.
(JavaDoc: True if the listener has consumed the event, false otherwise.)

 view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            return true;
        }
    });

You're getting it because you're actually implementing an interface called View.OnTouchListener rather than extending the View
