Same as any, it refers to the class, in this case an instance of GroundOverlayDemoActivity.

The only time the keyword this should be confusing is when you have an inner/anonymous class.
For example:
public class MyButton extends JButton {
public MyButton() {
addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e) {
Object o = this;
}
});
}
}
In this case keyword this refers to an instance of an ActionListener, not a MyButton.
