Accessing the containing class of an inner class in Java

Question

This is what I\'m doing now. Is there a better way to access the super class?

public class SearchWidget {
    private void addWishlistButton() {
        fina         


        

Answer 1

To access super of the object that contains an object of an anonymous class from that object, try, in your case SearchWidget.super

Example:(see the third call Child.super.print())

public class Test1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Child().doOperation();
}
}

class Parent {
protected void print() {
    System.out.println("parent");
}
}

class Child extends Parent {
@Override
protected void print() {
    super.print();
    System.out.println("child");
}

void doOperation() {
    new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            print();              // prints parent child
            Child.this.print();   // prints parent child
            Child.super.print();  // prints parent
        }
    }.run();

}
