Set default checked Radio Button

Question

I'm creating a RadioGroup with RadioButtons dynamically and need to have one radio button checked by default.

I've done this by using both radioButton.setChecked(true) and radioButton.toggle();

The problem I have is that when I at runtime select another radio button the first one stays checked so I end up with two checked radio buttons in the radio group.

Has anyone had this problem and know how to solve it?

private RadioButton addRadioButton(String type, String price){
        RadioButton radio = new RadioButton(Order.this);
        radio.setText(type + " (" + Utils.formatCurrency(price) + ")");
        radio.setTextAppearance(Order.this, R.style.portalCellTextStyle);
        radio.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 10);
        radio.setTag(price);

        if(type.toLowerCase().equals("m"))
            radio.toggle();

        return radio;
    }

Solution 1

I know I'm late but for those who search for the answer like me this can be useful.

When you add RadioButton to a RadioGroup, you must set the button checked after adding it to the parent like:

RadioGroup radioGroup = new RadioGroup(getContext())
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(getContext());
radioButton.setText("text");
mRadioGroup.addView(radioButton);
radioButton.setChecked(true);

If the view is checked before adding it to the parent, it will be impossible to uncheck it.

You can do this simply:

JAVA:

    radiogroup =(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.radiogroup);
    radiobutton1 =(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radiobutton1);
    radiobutton2 =(RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radiobutton2);

    if(your first assessment){
        radiobutton1.setChecked(true);
    }else{
        radiobutton2.setChecked(true);
    }

XML:

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

        <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/radiobutton1"
        android:checked="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/radiobutton2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    </RadioGroup>

Simple, at first time load the screen check the position of In Getview method and then apply condition:

if (position == 0) {
  holder.act_delivery_rbtn.setChecked(true);
}

Solution 4

Just make checked = "true" in your code

Solution 5

If you are only using one radio box for checking on and off, maybe you should use checkbox or toggle button instead.

Scroll down and see checkbox and toggle button.

When using radios you usually have more than one and choose between them. Like easy, medium, hard.

Replace

radio.toggle();

with

radio.setChecked(true);

I tried both and they both check the button but the button still stays checked if I check another one
