Accessing constructor of an anonymous class

by

From the Java Language Specification, section 15.9.5.1:

An anonymous class cannot have an
explicitly declared constructor.

Sorry 🙁

EDIT: As an alternative, you can create some final local variables, and/or include an instance initializer in the anonymous class. For example:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final int fakeConstructorArg = 10;

        Object a = new Object() {
            {
                System.out.println("arg = " + fakeConstructorArg);
            }
        };
    }
}

It’s grotty, but it might just help you. Alternatively, use a proper nested class 🙂
