how to use outclass instance in innerclass in java?

Question

I want this to be an instance of an outer class of an inner class. I was originally going to use 'this' in innerclass. I realized I should not be trying to use 'this'. 'this' is mean innerclass-instance, not outclass-instance... What should I do?

Answer 1

You use something like

Outerclass.this

for example. That allows you to denote elements of the enclosing outer class (assuming that the inner class is not static).
