Why can't I access a variable declared in a class, which implements a Java interface, from Scala?

interface, java, scala, scope

Solution

There is no way in Scala to have access to these variables from the `AlertDialog` class but you could use the interface itself as an object to access them.

So you can directly access the variables from the interface:

DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE

Problem

In Java I have a class that implements an interface: ``` AlertDialog implements DialogInterface ``` If some variables are declared inside of the interface I could access them: ``` AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE ``` But in Scala the above line does not compile. Seems like it is hidden. Is there any way to access these variables in Scala without creating a new object or doing anything else hacky?
