I was told that the variable accessed inside a anonymous inner class
needs to be static.

An inner class (whether anonymous or not) may access the instance
variables of the outer class and it can access the local variables of the
method that instantiates it, provided they are final.


Though a *static* inner class can only access static field of its enclosing
class (and can only call static methods of that class); pehshps that's what
the OP was thinking of.
