You can't call both a super- and this-constructor in one constructor. It's simply not allowed.

You can only use one of the two. If you use "this", then another constructor will be called in the same class; if that constructor uses "this", then a third constructor will be called, etc. Eventually, you'll get to a constructor that doesn't use "this", and in that constructor, "super" can appear.
