inheritance , enhanced loop and arraylist not running properly - loops

Question

I'm trying to put together a few things here and it isn't working correctly. I thought that each time through the loop, the loop would update and inherit for each class member. Instead, it is printing the "member" method 4 times.
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class toolband
{
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("abc");
}
static class member extends toolband
{
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("xyz");
}
}
static class maynard extends member
{
String namemaynard = "maynard";
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("pow pow");
}
}
static class adam extends member
{
String nameadam = "adam";
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("da dun da dun");
}
}
static class danny extends member
{
String namedanny = "danny";
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("smash smash smash");
}
}
static class justin extends member
{
String namejustin = "justin";
public static void noise()
{
System.out.println("womp wa wa wo wo womp");
}
}
public static void main (String [] args)
{
ArrayList <member> members = new ArrayList <member> (4);
member m = new maynard();
member a = new adam();
member d = new danny();
member j = new justin();
members.add(m);
members.add(a);
members.add(d);
members.add(j);
for (member i : members)
i.noise();
}
}
Can someone help me understand what I am doing incorrectly. Should I be making these all static methods?

Answer 1

The problem is that noise method in toolband is static.In java static method is not overriden.
To make this work change noise method signature to public void noise() and same in the subclasses which override and it works.
public class toolband {
public void noise() {
System.out.println("abc");
}
}
class member extends toolband {
public void noise() {
System.out.println("xyz");
}
}
class maynard extends member {
String namemaynard = "maynard";
public void noise() {
System.out.println("pow pow");
}
}
class adam extends member {
String nameadam = "adam";
public void noise() {
System.out.println("da dun da dun");
}
}
class danny extends member {
String namedanny = "danny";
public void noise() {
System.out.println("smash smash smash");
}
}
class justin extends member {
String namejustin = "justin";
public void noise() {
System.out.println("womp wa wa wo wo womp");
}
}
