How to use this while inside of a Runnable defined on the fly

I have the following code:

public void setupScreen()
{
    view.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
    {
        public void run()
        {
            view.setContentView(R.layout.game);
            LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.game_layout);
            ViewTreeObserver vto = layout.getViewTreeObserver();
            vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
        }
    });
}

This method is inside of a class that implements OnGlobalLayoutListener. I want to reference the class so i can put it as the parameter for the addOnGlobalLayoutListener() method. The problem is, is that when you reference this inside of a Runnable that is defined on the fly, this references the Runnable instead of the class I'm trying to reference. What is the work around for this?

YourActivityName.this, or perhaps YourClassName.this. Last one is untested, and I don't have Android's SDK here to test.
