Answer 1

I have encountered the same problem. I solved by creating an instance for every inner public Class. as for you situation, i suggest you use inheritance other than inner classes.

public class Shape {

    private String shape;

    public ZShape zShpae;
    public SShape sShape;

    public Shape(){
      int[][] coords =  noShapeCoords;
      shape = "NoShape";
      zShape = new ZShape();
      sShape = new SShape();
    }

    class ZShape{
      int[][] coords =  zShapeCoords;
      String shape = "ZShape";
    }

    class SShape{
      int[][] coords = sShapeCoords;
      String shape = "SShape";
    }

 //etc
}

then you can new Shape(); and visit ZShape through shape.zShape;
