Thread: hey! i am facing this issue "The field Parent.buffalo is not visible"

before putting my code what i expect from my code, i wan to know that "if i create a new class in same package in which there are already exist an inherited class. and i want to know that whether i can access those protected field directly from this class, because there are a saying that protected field can be accessed in same package."
Total i created 3 classes and 2 package.
let me clarify that i am doing this all on eclipse ide.

 
package first;
public class Parent {
    protected int buffalo = 5; // Protected field
}
 
package second;
import first.Parent;
public class ChildClass extends Parent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ChildClass a = new ChildClass();
        a.buffalo = 10;  // Accessing protected field from subclass
        System.out.println(a.buffalo); // Should print 10
    }
}  // this child class work fine! 
 
 
package second;
public class Abhi {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ChildClass ob = new ChildClass();
        ob.buffalo = 20;  // i want to access this, here the problem occur
        System.out.println(ob.buffalo);  // and also here 
    }
}
