Can I access new methods in anonymous inner class with some syntax?

by

Once the anonymous class instance has been implicitly cast into the named type it can’t be cast back because there is no name for the anonymous type. You can access the additional members of the anonymous inner class through this within the class, in the expression immediate after the expression and the type can be inferred and returned through a method call.

Object obj = new Object() {
    void fn() {
        System.err.println("fn");
    }
    @Override public String toString() {
        fn();
        return "";
    } 
};
obj.toString();



new Object() {
    void fn() {
        System.err.println("fn");
    }
}.fn();


identity(new Object() {
    void fn() {
        System.err.println("fn");
    }
}).fn();
...
private static <T> T identity(T value) {
    return value;
}
