hi ,
while instanciating the objects, the blank final will get executed..
so if you want to use final variables initialization in methods..means it is not possible.. but u can try it using inner classes inside a method
thank you

> Create a class with a blank final reference to an object. Perform the initialization of the blank final inside a method (not the constructor) right before you use it.
