A small tweak version of RadioGroup class in Android to expand it's capability

RadioGroupPlus

This is a tweak to the original Android RadioGroup.java class. This is because the original RadioGroup is only able to do:

And it is not able to do this:

With RadioGroupPlus, you can do this:

Doc

Everything should function the same as the original RadioGroup, so refer to this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RadioGroup.html

Demo

Refer to app/ folder of this repo.

Usage

Simple example:

   <worker8.com.github.radiogroupplus.RadioGroupPlus
        android:id="@+id/radio_group_plus"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <LinearLayout...>
           <ImageView...>
           <TextView...>
           <RadioButton...>
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout...>
           <ImageView...>
           <TextView...>
           <RadioButton...>
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout...>
           <ImageView...>
           <TextView...>
           <RadioButton...>
        </LinearLayout>
   </worker8.com.github.radiogroupplus.RadioGroupPlus>

Explanation: the 3 RadioButton shown in the code above will be linked together by RadioGroupPlus automatically.

If you want a even weirder layout, it will also work, for example:

<worker8.com.github.radiogroupplus.RadioGroupPlus
    android:id="@+id/radio_group_plus"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout...>
       <ImageView...>
       <TextView...>
       <RadioButton...>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout...>
       <ImageView...>
       <TextView...>
       <RadioButton...>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout...>
      <RelativeLayout>
         <ImageView...>
         <TextView...>
         <RadioButton...>
      </RelativeLayout>
      <RelativeLayout>
         <ImageView...>
         <TextView...>
         <RadioButton...>
      </RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</worker8.com.github.radiogroupplus.RadioGroupPlus>

Now the 2 RadioButton under the LinearLayout and the 2 RadioButton inside the RelativeLayout will all be linked together.

In fact, there is no limitation to what the layout should look like, because RadioGroupPlus will just look for all the RadioButton in it's children and link them together.

How it works / Contribute

You don't actually need to read this part unless you are interested or you want to contribute or fix this repo. I wrote a simple TreeTraversel to traverse all the children that will be added to RadioGroupPlus, a Pre-order traversal is used but there is no special reason of why because it doesn't really matter in this case.

While traversing, the listener mChildOnCheckedChangeListener is added to the RadioButton, so when the RadioButton is clicked, mChildOnCheckedChangeListener will be called, and CheckedStateTracker#onCheckedChanged will be called to properly toggle the RadioButtons.

In short, look for traverseTree() in if you want to make changes.

Download/Install

Add this to top level build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add this under dependencies:

compile 'com.github.worker8:RadioGroupPlus:v1.0.1'

If you run into conflict, use this instead:

compile('com.github.worker8:RadioGroupPlus:v1.0.1') {
    transitive = false;
}
