The initMethod above should declare a return type of Object, and should add the return this at the end.

The anonymous class cannot always access the static members of the enclosing class. This would happen when an anonymous class is defined in a static context, eg. in a static method or the static block.
Also anonymous class can use constructor of super class to pass parameters at runtime, and we have a workaround for initializing and passing parameters at creating time.
eg.
String someName = “some name”;
Object obj = new Object() {
String name;
public init(String s) {
this.name = s;
}
}.init(someName);

In the above example, instead of Object, you could use any other appropriate super-class.

“Instead of passing arguments to a constructor, your inner class methods can reach out and grab what they need directly from local variables in the enclosing method.”

FYI local variables from the enclosing method can be accessed from the methods of the anonymous class only if these are final vairables.

The bug you have here is that you don’t create and start a thread.

Wow! Anonymous classes! Did you wake up yesterday after decade being sleeping?
FYI you can pass parameters in constructor of anonymous class, if appropriate super constuctor exists.
