Keyword for the outer class from an anonymous inner class
JavaAnonymous Inner-ClassJava Problem Overview
In the following snippet:
public class a {
public void otherMethod(){}
public void doStuff(String str, InnerClass b){}
public void method(a){
doStuff("asd",
new InnerClass(){
public void innerMethod(){
otherMethod();
}
}
);
}
}
Is there a keyword to refer to the outer class from the inner class? Basically what I want to do is outer.otherMethod()
, or something of the like, but can't seem to find anything.
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
In general you use OuterClassName.this
to refer to the enclosing instance of the outer class.
In your example that would be a.this.otherMethod()
Solution 2 - Java
OuterClassName.this.outerClassMethod();
