how to access member of outer class from inner class in Kotlin?

Question

How to access the member of outer class from member function of inner class in kotlin. Consider the following code.

class A{
    var name: String

    class B{
        fun show(){
            print(name)          //<----- here ide shows error. name is not accessible
        }
    }
}

I am writing this code in android studio. It is working when written in java but not when we write code in kotlin.

Answer 1

You should mark class B as inner:

class A{
  var name: String

  inner class B{
    fun show(){
      print(name)
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

Use like this

class A{
lateinit var name: String

inner class B{
    fun show(){
        print(name)
    }
}
}
