On android, accessing static variables, inherited from a java interface, in nested java classes returns python 'None' in pyjnius.

On Android, accessing static variables, inherited from a java interface, in nested java classes returns python 'None'.

• Ref: Example Java source on gist .
• Accessing Nested class variable (inherited from interface), 'DeepKlass.VAR1' in pyjnius returns None, instead of 'var1'. (See section below : Android Python Interaction ).
• Works fine on my Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop. (See section below : Desktop Python Interaction)
• Env Details: Android version: 4.4.4.
• Notes : Faced this issue when using android contacts api, it needs to use such static variables.
  (ref: api: ContactsContract.java )

Android Python Interaction

>>> from kivy import platform
>>> from jnius import autoclass, __version__
>>> __version__
'1.1-dev'
>>> platform == "android"
True
>>> DeepKlass = autoclass("OuterKlass$InnerKlass$DeepKlass")
>>> #Works fine
>>> DeepKlass.VAR2
'var2'
>>> #Does NOT work, returns None instead of string "var1
>>> type(DeepKlass.VAR1
... )
<type 'NoneType'>
>>> 

Desktop Python Interaction

>>> from kivy import platform
>>> from jnius import autoclass, __version__
>>> __version__
'1.1-dev'
>>> platform == "linux"
True
>>> DeepKlass = autoclass("OuterKlass$InnerKlass$DeepKlass")
>>> #Works fine
>>> DeepKlass.VAR2
'var2'
>>> #Works fine
>>> DeepKlass.VAR1
'var1'
>>>
