I'm afraid there's no way to get hold of the address or reference to a
primitive type in Java. To confirm that these are different variables
you have to settle for the fact that they contain different values.

Consider the following (might contain typos):

public class Base {
  private int i = 0;

  public int getBaseI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public void setBaseI( int value ) {
    i = value;
  }
}


public class Extended extends Base {
  private int i = 0;

  public int getExtendedI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public void setExtendedI( int value ) {
    i = value;
  }
}

public class Test {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    Extended obj = new Extended( );

    obj.setBaseI( 5 );
    obj.setExtendedI( 10 );
    System.out.println( "Base: " + obj.getBaseI() + " Extended: " + obj.getExtendedI() );
  }

}

As long as the two i2 variables are private, the only way to solve it
is to override the printall() method in the extended class. A better
way to do it is to have the printall() method refer to public or
protected getter method and then override the getter method:

public class Base {
  private int i = 10;

  protected int getI( ) {
    return i;
  }

  public String toString() {
    return "i = " + getI( );
  }
}

public class Extended extends Base {
  private int i = 20;
 
  protected int getI( ) {
    return i;
  }
}

public class Test {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    Base base = new Base( );
    Extended ext = new Extended( );
    
    System.out.println( "Base:     " + base );
    System.out.println( "Extended: " + ext );
  }
}
