Android must implement the inherited abstract method

Question

I have downloaded project with this function where it works well, but when I coppied this function into my project, I get errors :

The type new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){} must implement the inherited abstract method AsyncHttpResponseHandler.onSuccess(int, Header[], byte[])

The method onSuccess(String) of type new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){} must override or implement a supertype method

The method onFailure(int, Throwable, String) of type new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){} must override or implement a supertype method

I tried all tips from this question but nothing helped. Any possible solution ?

public void syncSQLiteMySQLDB(){
    //Create AsycHttpClient object
    AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
    RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
    ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> userList =  controller.getAllUsers();
    if(userList.size()!=0){
        if(controller.dbSyncCount() != 0){

You cannot make a new signature to overriden methods, according your error and API your methods MUST have same signature than super class/interface:

Check JLS (§8.4.2)

It follows that is a compile-time error if [...] a method with a signature that is override-equivalent [...] has a different return type or incompatible throws clause.

In your case this signatures MUST be:

public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody) {
     // Successfully got a response
 }

public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody, Throwable error)
{
     // Response failed :(
}

NOT:

public void onSuccess(String response) {
public void onFailure(int statusCode, Throwable error, String content) {

Resuming.... declare your methods like described above and in AsyncHttpResponseHandler API and addapt them to achieve your needs.
