Hello.
On the G1....
Say you have a custom view class.
It has an inner-class with some view state. This inner-class
references some variables in the outer class. The outer-class
instances the inner-class and holds a reference to it.
Now, say you clone the inner class reference, and pass the copy to a
new instance of the custom view in another activity (so the new view
instance can pick up where the previous one left off).
In the new activity, new view instance, inner-class view state clone,
you find that the "this pointer" is that of the OLD view parent, and
that attempts to access variables in the outer class access variables
in the OLD outer class instance.
In the debugger, it appears there is an anonymous "pointer"
("Outer-class$0") to the enclosing outer-class that was not cloned /
setup properly by the native clone helper and runtime. It still
points back to the old outer-class.
Not being an Uber Java Wonk(tm), you rewrite your code to not use
inner-classes, and all works well. But you decide to write to the
list and see if this is maybe a Dalvik bug, or just something you
shouldn't try to do in the first place.
