synchronise on outer class object

Hello, I have runnable inner class. Outer class waits inner class notification. After notification is done I need outer class to read some inner class object state params. For this reason I make sleep inner class and wait for outer class read parameters and send notification. For this reason I need synchronise on outer class object.

How to get outer class object from inner class?

If outer class is called Outer and inner class is Outer.Inner, then you can get your outer instance with:

Outer.this

when in the inner scope.

You can call methods and access fields this way, but you cannot assign to Outer.this.
