Multiple inheritance for an anonymous class

by

Anonymous classes must extend or implement something, like any other Java class, even if it’s just java.lang.Object.

For example:

Runnable r = new Runnable() {
   public void run() { ... }
};

Here, r is an object of an anonymous class which implements Runnable.

An anonymous class can extend another class using the same syntax:

SomeClass x = new SomeClass() {
   ...
};

What you can’t do is implement more than one interface. You need a named class to do that. Neither an anonymous inner class, nor a named class, however, can extend more than one class.
