Inner Named class

inner_named_class.htm

A class defined within another class is called a nested class. Like other members of a class, a nested class can be declared static or not. A non-static nested class is called an inner class. An instance of an inner class can exist only within an instance of its enclosing class and has access to its enclosing class's members even if they are declared private.

The following table shows the types of nested classes:

Types of Nested Classes
Type Scope Inner

static nested class member no

inner [non-static] class member yes

local class local yes

anonymous class only the point where it is defined yes

Inner Named class

   class Outer {
    Outer() {
        Inner i = new Inner();
        i.innerMethod();
    }
    // Inner class
    private class Inner {
        Inner() {}
        public void innerMethod() {
            // Do something.
        }
    }
}
