What is a local class?

July 17th, 2009 by uCertify Leave a reply »

A named inner class that is declared within the body of a method is called a local class. A local class is not a member of any class. An inner class declared inside a method is private to the method. Therefore, it can neither be marked with an access modifier (public, private, or protected) nor with the static modifier.

A local class can access only those local variables or parameters in its enclosing method that are declared final. However, it can freely access any other variables (i.e., instance variables or static variables) in its enclosing class.
