Creating RadioGroup programmatically
I got a Error while doing the following code
Error:The specified child already has a parent you must call removeView on the child's
parent first
Anyone please help me in resolving this Code:
RadioButton[] radiobutton = new RadioButton[5];

RadioGroup radiogroup = new RadioGroup(this);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
LinearLayout listmainLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.phonelist);

// listmainLayout.setLayoutParams(new
// ListView.LayoutParams(width,
// height / 10));
listmainLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
RelativeLayout mainlistLayout = new RelativeLayout(
getApplicationContext());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams mainlistLayoutParams = new
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
(int) (width * 0.85), LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
mainlistLayout.setLayoutParams(mainlistLayoutParams);
// mainlistLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
mainlistLayout.setPadding((int) (0.03 * width), 0, 0, 0);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams radiogroupparams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
radiogroup.setLayoutParams(radiogroupparams);
radiobutton[i] = new RadioButton(this);
radiobutton[i].setText(" " + ContactsActivity.phonetype.get(i)
+ " " + ContactsActivity.phone.get(i));
radiobutton[i].setId(i + 100);
radiogroup.removeView(radiobutton[i]);
radiogroup.addView(radiobutton[i]);
mainlistLayout.addView(radiogroup);

i think this is wrong RadioButton[] radiobutton = new RadioButton[ContactsActivity.phone .size()]; – Rohit

see this stackoverflow.com/questions/5096329/… – Rohit Nov 12 '13 at 12:36
and layout which u set for radiogroup that will outside the loop, because radiogroup layout set one time now
u add ur buttons in group, so no need to add radiogroup in loop – Rohit Nov 12 '13 at 12:39
Thanks its working – honey Nov 12 '13 at 12:45

this The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent
first. because you are adding child( radio group ) to the parent layout multiple times.
try like this
private void createRadioButton() {

final RadioButton[] rb = new RadioButton[5];
RadioGroup rg = new RadioGroup(this); //create the RadioGroup
rg.setOrientation(RadioGroup.HORIZONTAL);//or RadioGroup.VERTICAL
for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
rb[i] = new RadioButton(this);
rb[i].setText(" " + ContactsActivity.phonetype.get(i)
rb[i].setId(i + 100);
rg.addView(rb[i]);
}
ll.addView(rg);//you add the whole RadioGroup to the layout

why do you have rg.addView(rb[i]) before setting text and id? also you are adding view to rg again at the
end – Bhargav Oct 1 '15 at 8:03
yes. that will work... and adding RadioGroup at the end to the parent Layout. – RajaReddy PolamReddy Oct

For me, it worked only after removing "rg.addView(radiobutton[i]);" – Ashish John Dec 28 '15 at 11:11
I am also trying this solution but using this way radio group allowing me to select all radio button inside it. It
should be only single selection of radio button within the same radio group. – Min2 Mar 15 '16 at 7:31
don t work where declare ll`? – Webserveis Oct 2 '16 at 10:56
Add array to strings.xml:
<string-array name="some_array">
<item>some_item_0</item>
</string-array>
I don't think you need id but text for each button so put somewhere this method (in my case
this is Utils class):
public static void fillRadioGroup(Context context, RadioGroup radioGroup, int

stringArrayId){
for (String s : context.getResources().getStringArray(stringArrayId)){
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(context);
radioButton.setText(s);
radioGroup.addView(radioButton);
}
if(radioGroup.getChildCount() > 0)
radioGroup.check(radioGroup.getChildAt(0).getId());
}
Then you can call it:
Utils.fillRadioGroup(this, radioGroup, R.array.some_array);

To get text you need to call:
if(radioGroup.getChildCount() > 0)
String text = ((RadioButton)
findViewById(radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId())).getText().toString();

Here is my source code,
First Create String arrays
<string-array name="websites_array">
<item>Yahoo</item>
<item>Hotmail</item>
<item>Gmail</item>
<item>Facebook</item>
<item>Other</item>
</string-array>
Then in source code,
final RadioGroup radioGrp = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.radioGroup);
//get string array from source

String[] websitesArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.websites_array);
//create radio buttons

for (int i = 0; i < websitesArray.length; i++) {
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(this);
radioButton.setText(websitesArray[i]);
radioButton.setId(i);
radioGrp.addView(radioButton);
}
//set listener to radio button group

radioGrp.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
int checkedRadioButtonId = radioGrp.getCheckedRadioButtonId();
RadioButton radioBtn = (RadioButton) findViewById(checkedRadioButtonId);
Toast.makeText(ConfigurationActivity.this, radioBtn.getText(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
That's all... :)
