How do I access the Enclosing class from the Inner class?
I am extending ArrayList to create a custom ArrayList that can be modified using normal ArrayList methods while iterating over it. I also create an iterator for this.
public class SynchronizedList<E> extends ArrayList<E>
{
// Fields here
//Constructors and methods here
public class SynchronizedListIterator<E> implements Iterator<E>
{
public int index;
private E current;
public boolean hasNext()
{
synchronized (/* reference to enclosing List object */) {
//code goes here
}
return false;
}
//more methods here
}
}
During my hasNext () and next () methods, I need to make sure that the list is not changed (it can be changed at any other time). So I need to reference my private type in my synchronized () block.
