Message:

Access to anonymous inner classes

Posted by Ivan Villanueva on January 16, 2001 at 9:12 AM

I cannot access to the data and functions of a anonymous inner class like I acess to a normal innner class. I don't know why and I don't know how to do it.
Can anybody help me?

Hier is the example:

package delete;

abstract class C1 {
int numberC1 = 1 ;
}
class C2 {
int numberC2 = 2 ;
}

public class multipleI extends C1 {
static void takeC1(C1 c1) {}
static void takeC2(C2 c2) {}

int numberMultipleI = 3 ;

class C2b extends C2 {
int numberC2b = 4 ;
int function() { return numberC1 + numberC2 + numberMultipleI + numberC2b ; }
}
C2b c2bObject = new C2b() ;

C2 c2IAObject = new C2(){
int numberC2IA ;
{ numberC2IA = 5 ; }
int newFunctionInAnonymousInnerClass() { return numberC2IA ; }
} ;
public static void main (String args[]) {
multipleI m = new multipleI() ;
takeC1(m) ;
takeC2(m.c2bObject) ;
System.out.println(m.c2bObject.numberC2b) ;
System.out.println(m.c2bObject.function()) ;

// This doesn't work. Why ??!!
// System.out.println(m.c2IAObject.numberC2IA) ;
// System.out.println(m.c2IAObject.newFunctionInAnonymousInnerClass()) ;
// System.out.println(m.c2bObject.numberC1) ;
// System.out.println(m.c2bObject.numberMultipleI) ;
}
}
