I have this amazing and good looking class:

public class SayingsHolder extends Application{

    ArrayList<String> SayingsList = new ArrayList<String>(){{
        SayingsList.add("1");
        SayingsList.add("2");

    }};

    public ArrayList<String> getSayingsList() {
        return SayingsList;
    }
}

Now I'm trying to call the getSayingsList method inside of my activity's FragmentStatePagerAdapter by:

private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {   
    final SayingsHolder holder = (SayingsHolder).getApplication();
}

Everything fine for now, but when I make my code like this:

 private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {   
        final SayingsHolder holder = (SayingsHolder).getApplication();
        holder.getSayingsList();
    }

it says:

Syntax error on token "getSayingsList", Identifier expected after this token

The problem is that holder is not functional at all. What I mean is that when i type the this holder. the getSayingsList is not showing at all.

What am I missing here? I know that it is an extremely small issue, but it seems that I can't spot it. My activity extends FragmentActivity if it's important

It seems that I'm missing something here. I can't call my method anywhere in my activity. I'm starting a bounty, because I need an example.
