How to set only one RadioButton Can be selected at

Question

I've created a radio button in radiogroup, but when I try running the apps all radio button can be selected all the time, and how to set only one radiobutton can be selected at one time?

I'm using Fragment

RadioGroup radioGroup = (RadioGroup) rootView.findViewById(R.id.RGroup);
        radioGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
                // find which radio button is selected
                if(checkedId == R.id.Abdominal) {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: A",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if(checkedId == R.id.Arm) {
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: B",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if(checkedId == R.id.Back){
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: C",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if(checkedId == R.id.Chest){
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: D",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if(checkedId == R.id.Leg){
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: E",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if(checkedId == R.id.Shoulder){
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "choice: F",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }

        });

here my xml code for RG and RB

<RadioGroup
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                    </TableRow>
                </RadioGroup>

EDITED 1 : Answer : If you dont want radio button can be selected in one time, so dont use Tablerow

Answer 1

  <RadioGroup
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:id="@+id/radioGroup">
        <RadioButton
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Debit"
            android:id="@+id/rDebit"
            android:checked="false"
             />

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Credit"
            android:id="@+id/rCredit"
            android:checked="false" />

    </RadioGroup>

And in java file

 RadioGroup radioGroup;



radioGroup = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.radioGroup);

And when to do something

 if (radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == R.id.rCredit)
{
// do something
}

Answer 2

I faced same problem and found where I was making mistakes and I describes it below:

1. If you are using RadioButtons in RadioGroup then RadioButtons should be direct child of RadioGroup.

2. I check my first condition and it was correct but still all radio buttons are getting selected and when gives ids and run project, it automatically solved my problem.

Answer 3

You can create your own RadioGroup, that is able to find all RadioButtons that are nested in your group regardless of direct child or not. Below the code of my NestedRadioGroup. Using this instead of your RadioGroup in your xml file should do the trick.

public class NestedRadioGroup extends LinearLayout {
    private SparseArray<RadioButton> radioButtons;
    private int checkedId;

    public NestedRadioGroup(Context context) {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public NestedRadioGroup(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        radioButtons = new SparseArray<>();
        checkedId = -1;
    }

    @Override
    public void addView(View child, int index, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params) {
        super.addView(child, index, params);
        findRadioButtons(child);
    }

    private void findRadioButtons(View child) {
        if (child instanceof RadioButton) {
            RadioButton newButton = (RadioButton) child;
            newButton.setId(radioButtons.size());
            newButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener((buttonView, isChecked) -> {
                if (isChecked) {
                    if (checkedId != -1) {
                        radioButtons.get(checkedId).setChecked(false);
                    }
                    radioButtons.get(buttonView.getId()).setChecked(true);
                    checkedId = buttonView.getId();
                }
            });
            radioButtons.put(newButton.getId(), newButton);
        } else if (child instanceof ViewGroup) {
            ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) child;

            for (int i = 0; i < group.getChildCount(); i++) {
                this.findRadioButtons(group.getChildAt(i));
            }
        }
    }
}

Any ideas to make the code cleaner?

I hope it works out for you :)

Answer 4

It's not working because of TableRow inside RadioGroup. All RadioButtons are not grouped together because of TableRow between them.

RadioButton should be the direct child of RadioGroup, Otherwise grouping does not work.

Just change your code like this it will work :

        <RadioGroup
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/RGroup">

            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Abdominal"
                android:id="@+id/Abdominal"/>
            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Arm"
                android:id="@+id/Arm"/>
            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Back"
                android:id="@+id/Back" />                                        

            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Chest"
                android:id="@+id/Chest"/>
            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Leg"
                android:id="@+id/Leg"/>
            <RadioButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Shoulder"
                android:id="@+id/Shoulder"/>

        </RadioGroup>

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 5

I have noticed that single selection does not work without setting id to radio buttons.

             <RadioGroup
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <RadioButton
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:checked="true"
                    android:id="@+id/expenseRadio"
                    android:text="@string/expense" />

                <RadioButton
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:id="@+id/incomeRadio"
                    android:text="@string/income" />
            </RadioGroup>

Answer 6

You can use android:checkedButton attribute on RadioGroup, providing the id of the RadioButton you want to be checked initially and selecting another RadioButton will clear the previous selection.

<RadioGroup
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:checkedButton="@+id/rbNo"
     android:orientation="horizontal">

        <RadioButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
            android:text="Yes" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rbNo"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="No" />
</RadioGroup>
