Changing the value of String in Switch statement in Java

Question

I'm trying to change the value of a String data type inside a switch statement in Android. And that String is declared inside the same method in which the switch statement in declared, and I need to change the value of the String when the user click on the Radio Button.

public void CreateQuestion(View view) {

    String questionType = new String();
    RadioGroup questionTypeRadioGroup = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.questionTypeRadioGroup);
    questionTypeRadioGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, @IdRes int checkedId) {
            switch (checkedId) {
                case R.id.true_false:
                    questionType = "True/False";
                    break;

                case R.id.mcqs:
                    questionType = "MCQs";
                    break;
            }
        }
    });
}

U should declare your string globally

public class ExampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    public String questionType;

    ....

    public void CreateQuestion(View view) {
         questionType = "";
         questionTypeRadioGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
         @Override
         public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, @IdRes int checkedId) {
              switch (checkedId) {
                     case R.id.true_false:
                          questionType = "True/False";
                          break;

                      case R.id.mcqs:
                          questionType = "MCQs";
                          break;
                    }
                }
            });
        }

    ....

}
