I believe next is a method, not a variable.

Try this and let me know if it works.

String a = scanner.next();

Probably you are just missing the parenthesis from the method invokation, try with

String a = scanner.next();

scanner.next tries to access to an instance variable which doesn't exist for Scanner class.
