No, you need to create an overriding method (with the @Override annotation) within the child class. Nothing is overridden automatically. The overriding instance method has to have the same name as the method being overridden. Edit: I might add, that everything is *inherited* automatically.

overriding of the methods should be done by the programmer. but the binding itself is done automatically and it is called dynamic binding. unlike c++ where the programmer should code for dynamic binding.
