Is super.onCreateContextMenu() required?

I have an ActionBarActivity( from v7 support library) which loads a fragment( from the v4 support library). I implemented onCreateContextMenu() in the fragment as shown below:

@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
                                ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
}

In my attempt to understand if a call to the super method was actually required, I dug through following the android source code:

1. Fragment, which has one line of code:

   public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
       getActivity().onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
   }
   

2. ActionBarActivity, which does not have onCreateContextMenu().

3. As ActionBarActivity is a subclass of FragmentActivity, I looked at here, which also does not have onCreateContextMenu().

4. As FragmentActivity is a subclass of Activity, I looked at here. Its method is empty:

   public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
   }
   

I concluded that there is no point in calling the super method. Yet, the official documentation does call super. So is my conclusion wrong? If so, why?

Your conclusion is right, the documentation just has a superflous line of code there, that does no harm.

Other methods like onCreate(), onResume() etc.however, do require a call to the method in the parent class and throw runtime exceptions if they are not called.
