keyword for the outer class from an anonymous inner class?

Question

In the following snippet

public class a{

public void otherMethod(){}
public void doStuff(String str, InnerClass b){}
pubic void method(a){

  doStuff("asd",
      new InnerClass(){
         public void innerMethod(){
              otherMethod();
         }
      }
  );
}

}

Ss 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?

Answer 1

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()

Answer 2

@Bill the lizard I think that only works to reference static elements.

reread, didn't see the .this at first. thats works, thanks.

Answer 3

OuterClassName.this.outerClassMethod();
