Private variables cannot be used over multiple classes. They are specific to the class in which they were created, hence the private part. You can declare a private variable by writing private before it, as seen below.

private String devName;

If the variable devName was in Class2, it would not be able to be used in Class1, since it is exclusive to its home class, if you will.
