Hi guys, I have a sealed class S in another class V with subtypes of the sealed class defined in it. How can I access methods of V in the subtypes?

class V {
    fun doSomething() {
        ...
    }

   sealed class S {
         object S1: S() {
             // how can I possibly do below:
             init {
                  doSomething()
             }
         }
   }
}

I know for a regular class, I just need to declare it as inner and call the regular outer class methods from it

Could you provide a minimal example that demonstrates your problem?

updated @marstran

You can't make a sealed class an inner class. Also, an inner class cannot be an

object

, because the object needs a reference to an instance of the outer class (so you would need one singleton object for every instance of V, which is contradictory).

Thanks @marstran, your example above is clever. Modified to suit my need.

class V {
    fun doSomething() {
        ...
    }

   sealed class S {
         class S1(v: V): S() {
             init {
                  v.doSomething()
             }
         }
   }
}
