In some case, when accessing an activity field from an anonymous class, I get NoSuchFieldError at runtime: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: MyActivity.myField
EDIT: I'm now sure that it's an Android issue, because everything compiles correctly but resolved incorrectly at runtime. When changing to MyActivity.this.myField instead of plain myField, everything works perfect.
BTW, I rechecked and I don't have any other myField anywhere else, Also, when opening declaration in Eclipse, it goes to the intended field (myField).
The only problem is that I couldn't reproduce this in a sample project. I'm left only to state that it's a specific problem in my project, but I'm reluctant doing so and I can't publish this project.
I'll keep this open in case someone stumbles upon something similar.
Here's the code that I can publish that crashes my project but not the sample one:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, myField.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}.run();
}
