Where to type @Override?

Question

in most IDEs and editors there's no consensus as to how to ident the @Override. and it's not covered in the coding style for java http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconvtoc-136057.html

i use exclusively vim and it creates a new indentation level. So i'm inclined to think that the correct is

@Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

But every documentation shows

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

But most of the time, the editor autoidents that to

   @Override
      public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

So, is there a 'correct' way? should i fix my java.vim syntax rules?

Answer 1

There's no one 'correct' way... all of them compile just fine, so they are all correct. Though, most of the cases you will see:

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

And, that's the way I prefer, because most programmers are used to that syntax, thus it's easier to read/understand for them.
