It's necessary to use the "AlertDialogSamples.this" syntax in an inner class when you want to refer to an ancestor class instance. Basically it disambiguates "this" which becomes overloaded when you have nested class instances. Because field accesses and method calls on an enclosing class are automatically inferred for an inner class, you usually only need this special syntax when you need a reference to the enclosing instance (as in the example you give).
