What is called anonymous class?

Question

abstract class Inner_Class_1{
  abstract void call();
}

class AnnonymousInner{
  public static void main(String args[]){

    Inner_Class_1 p=new Inner_Class_1()
    {
      void call()
      {
        System.out.println("nice fruits");
      }
    };

    p.call();
  }
}

What happens behind the scenes?
Is object created for abstract class named Inner_Class_1?
Why this is called an anonymous class?

Please, help me out.

No, an object is created for an anonymous class that is a sub-class of Inner_Class_1. Anonymous means the class has no name.
