Accessing inner anonymous class members

Question

Is there any way other than using reflection to access the members of a anonymous inner class?

Answer 1

You can use local classes instead anonymous class. Look:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        class MyInner {
            private int value = 10;
        }

        MyInner inner = new MyInner();
        System.out.println(inner.value);
    }
}

You can have reference of MyInner type only in the method body though. So outside of the method you will not be able to use its fields/methods that are not declared in its super class (java.lang.Object in this case) or interface.
