Why can't I reach methods of inner class in java?

Question

I have a structure similar to this:

 class OuterClass{
        AnimatorListener sth;
        public OuterClass(){
             sth = new InnerClass();
        }
        public class InnerClass implements AnimatorListener{
             public InnerClass(){}
             public void doSomething(){}
             //assuming animator listener methods implemented
        }
        public void tryingToDoSomething(){
             sth.doSomething();   //I cannot use this, simply it is not seen by eclipse.
        }
    }

Why cant I call doSomething() method of sth object while I am tryingToDoSomething() ?

Answer 1

change your constructer syntax. It is wrong

public OuterClass{
         sth = new InnerClass();
    }

change this to

public OuterClass(){
         sth = new InnerClass();
    }

Answer 2

Your object sth belongs to class AnimatorListener but it should belong to InnerClass . Hope this helps, happy coding.
