I want to give the user four choices, the first and second choices on a row and the third and fourth choices on another row. My problem is when the application starts I can select more than one choice, but I don't want that. This is my xml layout:
<RadioGroup
android:id="@+id/rgAnswerQuestionChoices"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/rAnswerQuestonChoic1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RadioButton"
android:visibility="invisible" />
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/rAnswerQuestionChoice2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RadioButton"
android:visibility="invisible" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/rAnswerQuestionChoice3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RadioButton"
android:visibility="invisible" />
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/rAnswerQuestionChoice4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RadioButton"
android:visibility="invisible" />
</LinearLayout>
</RadioGroup>
What am I doing wrong?
If you place other layouts between the RadioButtons
and the parent Radiogroup
(like you did with those LinearLayouts
) then the mutual exclusion will not work anymore.
To put those RadioButtons
in a two rows table you could make your own RadioGroup
which places the RadioButtons
like you want or you can try to simulate that layout by having two RadioGroups
that behave as one(for example, RadioGroup with two columns which have ten RadioButtons).
