java - Aligning RadioButton and EditText on same line when having multiple rows

Question

I am trying to create a small list (3 rows) where there are one RadioButton and one EditText view on each row arranged horizontally. I want the radiobuttons to be in the same RadioGroup. I can't add the radio button and the edit text view to a linearlayout because then Android yells about the radiobutton having another parent. How can I solve this?

I am adding each row programatically:

mAnswerGroup.addView(radioButton, new RadioGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
mAnswerGroup.addView(editText, new RadioGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Answer 1

In this case, a RadioGroup won't work. You will have to manually handle the checked changes of the 3 RadioButtons because you need to make a LinearLayout and add a RadioButton and EditText inside it. You will have to manually uncheck the other radio buttons.

Set the onCheckedChangeListener of each RadioButton and handle then manually: Implement OnCheckedChangeListener interface in your activity and do this in the onCreate():

rb_1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
rb_2.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
rb_3.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);

Then, override the onCheckedChanged() method of the interface:

@Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton cb, boolean isChecked) {
        if(isChecked){
            //get the id of the checked button for later reference
            int id = cb.getId();

            /*
            * do what you want here based on the id you got
            */

            //uncheck the other RadioButtons
            rb_1.setChecked(id == R.id.rb_1);
            rb_2.setChecked(id == R.id.rb_2);
            rb_3.setChecked(id == R.id.rb_3);

        }
    }
