Question

The super-class can be referred to by the keyword, super, and the current class can be referred to via, this, but is there a way to refer to the class that contains the nested class/anonymous class?

Answer 1

Yes. Like this:

public class OuterClass {
    class InnerClass {
        void method() {
            // Refer to outer class instance
            doSomething( OuterClass.this );
        }

        void doSomething(OuterClass outer) {
            // ...
        }
    }
}
