How to override an overload Java method in nativescript?

Question

I have an Android-Java class that have two overloaded methods

package com.test;

public class A{

  public void theMethod(Bitmap bitmap){
    ...
  }

  public void theMethod(int resource){
    ...
  }
}

And I am trying to extends the class in a Nativescript-Angular program:

class ExtendedA extends com.test.A{
    public theMethod(bitmap : android.graphics.Bitmap) : void{
        ...
    }
}

but I have this error

Property 'theMethod' in type 'ExtendedA' is not assignable to the same property in base type ‘A’.
  Type ‘(bitmap : Bitmap) => void' is not assignable to type '{ (param: Bitmap): void; (param : number): void; }'.
    Types of parameters 'bitmap' and 'param' are incompatible.
      Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'Bitmap'.

P.D. I have not the class com.test.A code.

In your tsconfig.json file you need to make --strictFunctionTypes:true.

"compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "strictFunctionTypes": true,
    "downlevelIteration": true
 }

P.S. if your argument count is different in Class A then Java method overloads are handled by the developer by explicitly checking the arguments count of the invoked function.
