I'm not sure of the context exactly but is sounds like you're redeclaring the variable idName (line 33?) somewhere in your class id. Essentially:

class id {
   private String idName;
 \\...Some awesome code here
\\Line 32
(somewhere in this line) String idName (or another version).
}

Sorry without the code itself its hard to exactly point out where the error is but use the line numbers at the beginning of the error it shows you. They can be really useful sometimes, other times not so much. Hope this helps.
