Class Overview

This class is used to create a multiple-exclusion scope for a set of radio buttons. Checking one radio button that belongs to a radio group unchecks any previously checked radio button within the same group.

Intially, all of the radio buttons are unchecked. While it is not possible to uncheck a particular radio button, the radio group can be cleared to remove the checked state.

The selection is identified by the unique id of the radio button as defined in the XML layout file.

XML Attributes

Public Methods

public void addView (View child, int index, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Adds a child view with the specified layout parameters.

Parameters
child the child view to add
index the position at which to add the child
params the layout parameters to set on the child

public void check (int id)

Sets the selection to the radio button whose identifier is passed in parameter. Using -1 as the selection identifier clears the selection; such an operation is equivalent to invoking clearCheck().

Parameters
id the unique id of the radio button to select in this group

public void clearCheck ()

Clears the selection. When the selection is cleared, no radio button in this group is selected and getCheckedRadioButtonId() returns null.

public RadioGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (AttributeSet attrs)

Returns a new set of layout parameters based on the supplied attributes set.

Parameters
attrs the attributes to build the layout parameters from
Returns

public int getCheckedRadioButtonId ()

Returns the identifier of the selected radio button in this group. Upon empty selection, the returned value is -1.

Returns
  • the unique id of the selected radio button in this group

public void setOnCheckedChangeListener (RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener listener)

Register a callback to be invoked when the checked radio button changes in this group.

Parameters
listener the callback to call on checked state change

public void setOnHierarchyChangeListener (ViewGroup.OnHierarchyChangeListener listener)

Register a callback to be invoked when a child is added to or removed from this view.

Parameters
listener the callback to invoke on hierarchy change

Protected Methods

protected boolean checkLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

protected LinearLayout.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Returns a set of layout parameters with a width of FILL_PARENT and a height of WRAP_CONTENT when the layout's orientation is VERTICAL. When the orientation is HORIZONTAL, the width is set to WRAP_CONTENT and the height to WRAP_CONTENT.

Returns
  • a set of default layout parameters or null

protected void onFinishInflate ()

Finalize inflating a view from XML. This is called as the last phase of inflation, after all child views have been added.

Even if the subclass overrides onFinishInflate, they should always be sure to call the super method, so that we get called.
