    Default Question about inline code segment

    Not sure if this is in the appropriate topic, if not let me know where would be better, thankyou.

    Fairly new to object oriented programming and even newer to Java. I've never seen code inlined like this before. I need help understanding what exactly is happening here. Is this segment of code overloading the constructor of the OnClickListener object?

     
     
     
    OnClickListener l = new OnClickListener()
    {
    	public void onClick(View v) 
    	{
    	             if (mPhoneIsSilent)
    		{
    			mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
    			mPhoneIsSilent = false;
    		}
     
    		else
    		{
    			mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
    			mPhoneIsSilent = true;
    		}
     
    		toggleUi();
    	}    	    
    };

    Is this segment of code overloading the constructor of the OnClickListener object?
    No, it's extending OnClickListener if OnClickListener is a class, implementing OnClickListener if OnClickListener is an interface. It's an anonymous inner class:
    Nested Classes (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)
    What is overridden (or implemented) is the onClick(View) method.

    Thank you. I looked all over the net for documentation about that but I didn't know what it was refered to as. (anonymous class)
