Answer 1

This is well answered here: Modifier static is only allowed in constant variable declarations

In short: because mymobile is a subclass of Mobile, it cannot have a static member (the main function).

If you can move mymobile class out of Mobile, the error should clear.

Answer 2

You can not have a public and static field inside a static inner class

See the Inner Class Documentation here

Answer 3

在 Java 中，不可能在一个文件中添加两个公共类。您需要更改mymobile类修饰符的默认值，例如class mymobile或者您可以将Mobile类修饰符更改为默认值，例如class Mobile 。

Answer 4

发生此错误是因为您在一个程序中有两个主要方法。
