Do you mean create one variable in one class A and this variable is accessible from other classes such as class B, C, D and so on?<br />

What does the "final" keyword do ?

Well,<br />
<br />
final means that you can't change the value. It is *fixed*. It is good if you want to have a kind like constant where the value will not change in your app.<br />
<br />
public static final String APPLN_SERIES = &quot;PL&quot;; means &quot;Hey Java compiler, create one String that belongs to the class of Constants (static), make it unchangeable (final) and it should be public so it is accessible from other class. Thanks in advanced&quot; :).

public static final String APPLN_SERIES = "PL"; means "Hey Java compiler, create one String that belongs to the class of Constants (static), make it unchangeable (final) and it should be public so it is accessible from other class. Thanks in advanced" :).

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
