I have a block of code that works and I wanted to ask what exactly is happening here?

Question

The semicolon (;) at the end of the code is the thing which is got me lost. private View.OnClickListener onSave = new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { EditText name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.name); EditText address=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.addr); r.setName(name.getText().toString()); r.setAddress(address.getText().toString()); } }; JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Answer 1

What we have here is an anonymous inner class. Practically what happens is you are saying "I want to use an object just this time that extends View.OnClickListener". Then you provide the implementation of that object's type directly inline by specifying the onClick method code. The entire code you posted is simply an assignment, which translates to: A a = new SubclassOfA(); where SubclassOfA is defined inline directly.
