How to pass Method Inner Class reference to other method?

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to pass the reference of "method inner class".
Can any one explain me how to pass the reference and where other method will sit in the class, I mean either in Outer Class or in Inner Class ?
Thanks in advance for ur reply :)
package methosInnerClass;
public class MethodLocalInnerClass {
     private String outerName;
     private static String statOuterName;
     public MethodLocalInnerClass(String name, String statName) {
          outerName = name;
          statOuterName = statName;
     public void methodWithLocallClass() {
          class MethodInnerClass {
               String innerName;
               MethodInnerClass(String name) {
                    innerName = name;
               public void displayOuterInner() {
                    System.out.println("Outer Name: " + outerName + "\nOuter StatName: " + MethodLocalInnerClass.statOuterName + "\nInner Name: " + innerName);
          MethodInnerClass methodInner = new MethodInnerClass("Harish");
          methodInner.displayOuterInner();
                *Pass above reference to other method*
     public static void staticMethodWithLocallClass() {
          class MethodInnerClass {
               String innerName;
               MethodInnerClass(String name) {
                    innerName = name;
               public void displayOuterInner() {
                    // We can not access the non-static instance variable since this method is a static method
                    //System.out.println("Outer Name: " + outerName + "\nOuter StatName: " + MethodLocalInnerClass.statOuterName + "\nInner Name: " + innerName);
                    System.out.println("Outer StatName: " + MethodLocalInnerClass.statOuterName + "\nInner Name: " + innerName);
          new MethodInnerClass("Shakshi").displayOuterInner();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          new MethodLocalInnerClass("Abhishek","Neeshu").methodWithLocallClass();
          System.out.println("Calling innerClass within static method !!!");
          staticMethodWithLocallClass();
}
