RadioGroup Android Databinding XML With Include Layouts

I am currently facing an issue with the radio buttons in my app. My app comprises Information Forms which include Radio buttons with other Views and there are multiple forms. When I select option 1 of the first and second radio buttons and select option 2 of the last radio button in my fragment and navigate to another fragment and come back to my previous fragment all the radio buttons have option 2 selected. No matter what I choose as an option for radio buttons, whatever the last radio option is selected all the radio buttons have that option selected. This happens when I navigate to another fragment and come back to the previous fragment. I want to show the correct options selected when I navigate back to the previous fragment.

Note:

I am using Hilt, DataBinding, ViewBinding, MVVM, HiltNavGraph

Solution

  • I found the answer by playing with it a bit

    1. Added a listener for my RadioGroup

    variable name="onCheckedChangedListener" type="android.widget.RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener" />

    1. Modified my RadioGroup by adding these two lines

    android:onCheckedChanged="@{onCheckedChangedListener}" android:checkedButton="@{selectedOption}"

    1. Removed one line from each RadioButton

    android:checked="@{selectedOption == @id/rb_option1 ? true : false}"

    1. Added functions in my viewModel for each RadioGroup selection
    fun setQuestion1OptionId(id: Int) {
    selectedQuestion1OptionId.value = id
}

fun setQuestion2OptionId(id: Int) {
    selectedQuestion2OptionId.value = id
}

fun setQuestion3OptionId(id: Int) {
    selectedQuestion3OptionId.value = id
}
    1. Added listener to each included RadioGroup in fragment_radio.xml

    app:onCheckedChangedListener="@{(radioGroup, id) -> viewModel.setQuestion1OptionId(id)}"

    1. Removed implementation from RadioFragment

    Here is my modified Code
