not able to unchecked the already checked radio button in dynamic radio group

Question

If I set a radio button to be selected on the first time, it works fine. But if I unselect it by calling .setChecked(false); then, later even if I try to make it selected by calling setChecked(true) will not unselect the previous one.

    private void radiotype() {
    count = //changed every time.
    LinearLayout llques = (LinearLayout) mview.findViewById(R.id.llrbgRBD);
    RadioGroup group = new RadioGroup(context);
    group.setOrientation(RadioGroup.VERTICAL);
    final RadioButton[] rb = new RadioButton[count];
    List<String[]> ans = getAnswerList.getAns();

    for (int j = 0; j < count; j++) {

        rb[j] = new RadioButton(context);
        rb[j].setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        rb[j].setText("`enter code here`hi");
        String a = rb[j].getText().toString();`enter code here`
        Log.e("getAnswerList===a", "getAnswerList===>a" + a);
        Log.e("getAnswerList", "getAnswerList===>" + ans.get(index)[0]);
        if (a.equalsIgnoreCase(ans.get(index)[0])) {
            rb[j].setChecked(true);
        }
        rb[j].setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
        rb[j].setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_radio_button);
        group.addView(rb[j]);
    }
    llques.removeAllViews();
    llques.addView(group);
    group.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
            // checkedId is the RadioButton selected
            //int c = count;
            for(int i=0;i<count;i++){
                rb[i].setChecked(false);
            }
            //
            Log.v("id",""+checkedId);
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                if (rb[i].getId() == checkedId){
                    rb[i].setChecked(true);
                } 
            }
        }
    });

I know this is rather old, but I just had the same problem. The solution is to change the state of RadioButton after adding it to RadioGroup by addView(). I guess this is also what BAKUS tried to say by his sample code.

The way RadioGroup ensure only one RadioButton is checked is based on those RadioButton's Id.
Try add this in your first for-loop:

int uniqueId = j; // or whatever unique in this RadioGroup
rb[j].setId(uniqueId);

Use this in your xml.

<RadioGroup
                android:id="@+id/status_group"
                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 android:orientation="vertical"
                 android:layout_margin="5dp"
                 >
             <RadioButton
                 android:id="@+id/open_radio"
                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 android:text="Open"
                 />
            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/close_radio"
                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 android:text="Closed"
                 />
            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/all_radio"
                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 android:text="Both"
                 />

            </RadioGroup>

And then in java:

 final RadioGroup status_group = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.status_group);

        //--    By default if you want open button to be checked, you can do that by using
            status_group.check(R.id.open_radio);

            status_group.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) { 


                    RadioButton radioButton = (RadioButton) findViewById(checkedId);
                    status_group.check(checkedId);

                    radio_status = radioButton.getText().toString().trim();
                    Log.v("radio_text--", radio_status);
                }
            });

        rg.addView(rb[i]);
    }      
    ll.addView(rg);//you add the whole RadioGroup to the layout
    RadioButton tb=(RadioButton) findViewById(bid); // find the button by the Id 
    tb.toggle();   // toggle it after diplaying the group    

}

You would do well to explain your answer a bit rather than just paste the code. — crthompson, Oct 04 '13 at 21:01
As paqogomez said, can you provide some context to this answer? As it is currently written, it's not very helpful. — Derek, Oct 04 '13 at 21:02

Do this -

if (a.equalsIgnoreCase(ans.get(index)[0])) {
            rb[j].setChecked(true);
        }

after

group.addView(rb[j]);

instead of checking it before addView.

Make it like -

private void radiotype() {
count = //changed every time.
LinearLayout llques = (LinearLayout) mview.findViewById(R.id.llrbgRBD);
RadioGroup group = new RadioGroup(context);
group.setOrientation(RadioGroup.VERTICAL);
final RadioButton[] rb = new RadioButton[count];
List<String[]> ans = getAnswerList.getAns();

for (int j = 0; j < count; j++) {

    rb[j] = new RadioButton(context);
    rb[j].setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    rb[j].setText("`enter code here`hi");
    String a = rb[j].getText().toString();`enter code here`
    Log.e("getAnswerList===a", "getAnswerList===>a" + a);
    Log.e("getAnswerList", "getAnswerList===>" + ans.get(index)[0]);

    rb[j].setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
    rb[j].setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.custom_radio_button);
    group.addView(rb[j]);
    if (a.equalsIgnoreCase(ans.get(index)[0])) {
        rb[j].setChecked(true);
    }
}
llques.removeAllViews();
llques.addView(group);
group.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
        // checkedId is the RadioButton selected
        //int c = count;
        for(int i=0;i<count;i++){
            rb[i].setChecked(false);
        }
        //
        Log.v("id",""+checkedId);
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            if (rb[i].getId() == checkedId){
                rb[i].setChecked(true);
            } 
        }
    }
});

This worked for me too.
