Quoted Text Here Hi, anyone can help pass values of JRadioButton to another JFrame? For example, if "twoway" Jradiobutton is selected, its value (a char i.e. "2-way face foundation") will be shown in another JFrame. Thanks in advanced..

Code blocks are created by indenting at least 4 spaces
... and can span multiple lines

Short answer: treat product labels as Strings, collect the selected JRadioButtons when the user clicks the "view cart" button, then pass that list of Strings to the new frame (either via the constructor or a setter). is right to suggest calling a method on the other class; that can be done by creating the cart frame with the data or by calling a method on an existing cart frame instance. Also make a small test program (SSCCE) while you work — it keeps the problem clear.

A compact pattern you can use: give each radio an action command (or use the radio text), gather the selected radios into a List, then open the cart frame with that list:

JRadioButton[] radios = { twoway, oilfree, watcre /* add the rest */ };
List<String> selected = new ArrayList<>();
for (JRadioButton r : radios) {
    if (r.isSelected()) selected.add(
        r.getActionCommand() != null ? r.getActionCommand() : r.getText()
    );
}
new CartFrame(selected).setVisible(true);

And a very small CartFrame that shows the items:

public class CartFrame extends JFrame {
  public CartFrame(List<String> items) {
    JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
    items.forEach(s -> ta.append(s + System.lineSeparator()));
    add(new JScrollPane(ta));
    pack();
    setLocationRelativeTo(null);
  }
}

Notes and cautions: if you want only one choice per category use a ButtonGroup for that category; if you want independent multi-selection, JCheckBox is usually clearer than JRadioButton. Use setActionCommand when the displayed label also contains price and you want to pass a clean product id/name. Avoid this.hide(); prefer setVisible(false) or dispose(). Make sure UI creation runs on the EDT (SwingUtilities.invokeLater). Keep the logic for building the cart in the view-cart button listener rather than trying to push state from every radio button.

To work on the problem, please make a small, simple program the compiles and executes and shows the problem.
Don't post all of your code because most of it is not related to the problem.
Make a small simple program for testing this problem. What is called a SSCCE

You pass values between classes and methods by getting a reference to the class with the method you want to call and calling a method in that class.

TheClass aRef = <get a reference to the classs somehow>
aRef.someMethod(<The value to pass>); // call the method in the class and pass it the value

Sorry, I will shorten the code.

Here it is..

twoway = new JRadioButton("2-Way Face Foundation / S$25");
twoway.setBackground(Color.black);
twoway.setForeground(Color.white);
java.awt.Font font00 = new java.awt.Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
twoway.setFont(font00);
twoway.addActionListener(this);

oilfree = new JRadioButton("Oil Free Beige Foundation / S$15");
oilfree.setBackground(Color.black);
oilfree.setForeground(Color.white);
java.awt.Font font01 = new java.awt.Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
oilfree.setFont(font01);
oilfree.addActionListener(this);

watcre = new JRadioButton("Water cream foundation / S$30");
watcre.setBackground(Color.black);
watcre.setForeground(Color.white);
java.awt.Font font02 = new java.awt.Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
watcre.setFont(font02);
watcre.addActionListener(this);

vc = new JButton("STEP 3) VIEW YOUR CART");
vc.setBackground(Color.black);
vc.setForeground(Color.pink);
java.awt.Font font20 = new java.awt.Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
vc.setFont(font20);
vc.addActionListener(this);
getContentPane().add(vc);

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == vc)
{

//what code should i input here?
I need to display the values of the 3 selected jradiobuttons on the next page??

}

The testing code needs to compile, execute and show the problem. That means a complete class with main() method etc
