Issue in radiogroup while adding radiobuttons dynamically

Question

I didn't see any post similar to my problem. I have a radiogroup which has two buttons as follows,

<RadioGroup
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        >
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/basic"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/advanced"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
    </RadioGroup>

In my application,Sometimes I need one more button which I have added dynamically like,

button=new AppCompatRadioButton(Activity.this);                                                              
button.setId(R.id.my_custom_id);                                                                                  
radiogroup.addView(button);

Oncheckedchangelistener code for that radiogroup,

(radioGroup).setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
                    if(checkedId== R.id.basic) {
                        button.setChecked(false);
                        //my code
                    }
                    else if(checkedId== R.id.advanced) {
                        button.setChecked(false);
                        //my code
                    }
                    else {
                       //it is newly added button's part
                    }
                }
            });

The problem is, when the newly added button is checked, it is not unchecked when I am clicking other button. I tried to solve this in OnCheckedChangeListener by setting button.setChecked(false); when other buttons were checked. But it doesn't work. I don't know which makes problem in that.

Can Anyone help me.Thanks!

Use your Activity class context while initializing the RadioButton.

Instead of Activity.this use MainActivity.this

Here is the Full working code..in your activity:

        RadioGroup group = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.group);

        group.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
                Log.d("chk", "id" + checkedId);

                if (checkedId == R.id.basic) {
                    //some code
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "First", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if (checkedId == R.id.advanced) {
                    //some code
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Second", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                } else if (checkedId == R.id.my_custom_id) {
                    //some code
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Third", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }

            }

        });
        RadioButton button = new RadioButton(this);
        button.setId(R.id.my_custom_id);
        button.setText("Dynamic Button");
        group.addView(button);
        group.clearCheck();

In your layout Xml:

<RadioGroup
    android:id = "@+id/group"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >
    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/basic"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="Basic"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />
    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/advanced"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:text="Advanced"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />
</RadioGroup>
