Android Tutorial & Lessons 12: Radio Buttons and Groups in XML:


Whats up CornFanz, thanks for watching my videos, I would love it if you subscribe and give me some feedback.


In this lesson you will:
-Start setting up a more advanced LinearLayout XML
-Add EditText
-Add two radio groups which hold 3 radio buttons.
-Set up some other sweet stuff
-Identify all our views (technical term for sweet stuff)
-Thumbs up this video ;)

This video is the 12th in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C++, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.

If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

One tip. When you are in the XML files if u click "ctrl+shift+F" you will format/cut those long lines of code and "tab" it so you get a nice clean overview. :D

Keep it up!

Great XML tutorials. I`ve learned a lot with them. I `d rather work with the graphical layout till I get the final look. The drag & drop + the properties menu make things a lot easier. Anyway thanks for posting such nice tutorials. Alex

@MyRsIrl well there are a few things you want to check/ try. First make sure you put a picture called test.png or whatever in the appropriate drawable folder, then you want to go to Project>Clean... if that doesn't fix the problem you want to check if you still have the auto generated R.java file within "gen" folder if it isn't there then most likely you set something up incorrectly in the manifest or mislabeled a resource. Hope that helps :D
