java - How to declare method globally in Class

Question

I want to call startUpload(position); method in loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {} like this:

loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    SaveData();     
    alertDialog.dismiss();  
    startUpload(position);  
}

but always getting : position cannot be resolved to a variable

so where i am doing mistake, how can i resolve this issue..?

//Upload
public void startUpload(final int position) {      
    Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {

        public void run() {
            handler.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    View v = lstView.getChildAt(position - lstView.getFirstVisiblePosition());
                    // Show ProgressBar
                    ProgressBar progress = (ProgressBar)v.findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
                    progress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

                    //  Status  
                    TextView status = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.ColStatus);
                    status.setText("Uploading..");

                    new UploadFileAsync().execute(String.valueOf(position));   
                }
            }); 
        }
    };
    new Thread(runnable).start();
}

The declaration of position is key here.

Make sure it is in the method that contains this loginButton.onClickListener code and make sure it is declared as final
