[OuterClassName].this.[variableName]
E.g.

class Outer
{
  private String foo = "outer foo";
 
  public class Inner
  {
    private String foo = "inner foo";
    public void method()
    {
      System.out.println(this.foo);
      System.out.println(Outer.this.foo);
    }
  }
 
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Outer o = new Outer();
    Inner i = o.new Inner();
    i.method();
  }
}
