cannot override dragfinished method

Question

I have a subclass of the Button class and I would like to override the dragFinished method of the Component class. However, when I try to do this:

@Override
protected void dragFinished(int x, int y){
    // other code here
}

I am getting an error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype.

Also, if this provides more information, when I try to call super.dragFinished(x, y) within the method, I get this error: dragFinished(int,int) is not public in Component; cannot be accessed from outside package.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it possible your IDE auto-completed inheritance from the wrong class e.g. java.awt.Button instead of com.codename1.ui.Button?
