yes. you can store the input as a string or as another primitive type. Are you using swing?

Click on the Text Field. Go to code tab on the right. (By default)

 

And variable Modifiers. Set this to public.

in the code you will want to create a new object of that frame (contains the text field) ie: NewJFrame mainFrame = new NewJFrame().

then you can get the text through mainFrame.fieldName.getText();

This is might not be the best way but it works.
