if (Test4.this.flag);
{
sample();
}

It is because you have a semicolon at the end of your if statement .

This is what happens:
The constructor is called from main
The constructor calls superclass contructor
Initializers are executed (flag is set to true)
The rest of the constructor is executed
So, call to sample() occurs after flag is set to true.
