I have the following code. I want to get hold of the outer class object using which I created the inner class object inner. How can I do it?
public class OuterClass {
public class InnerClass {
private String name = "Peakit";
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OuterClass outer = new OuterClass();
InnerClass inner = outer.new InnerClass();
// How to get the same outer object which created the inner object back?
OuterClass anotherOuter = ?? ;
if(anotherOuter == outer) {
System.out.println("Was able to reach out to the outer object via inner !!");
} else {
System.out.println("No luck :-( ");
}
}
}
EDIT: Well, some of you guys suggested of modifying the inner class by adding a method:
public OuterClass outer() {
return OuterClass.this;
}
But what if I don't have control to modify the inner class, then (just to confirm) do we have some other way of getting the corresponding outer class object from the inner class object?
