I do understand that Class.this used in case of nested classes but I came across a code which is using it without any nested classes.
// Find the View that shows the numbers category
TextView numbers = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.numbers);
// Set a click listener on that View
numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
// The code in this method will be executed when the numbers View is clicked on.
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NumbersActivity.class);
startActivity(numbersIntent);
}
});
In the line:
Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NumbersActivity.class);
Why is MainActivity.this used and why can't we use this.
Because here new View.OnClickListener() is anonymous inner class.
