what exactly is your problem?

define a layout:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 
    android:orientation="vertical">
 
    <RadioGroup
 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
        android:orientation="vertical"
 
        android:checkedButton="@+id/lunch"
 
        android:id="@+id/mapmenu">
 
        <RadioButton
 
            android:text="Map"
 
            android:id="@+id/breakfast"
 
            />
 
        <RadioButton
 
            android:text="Traffic"
 
            android:id="@id/lunch" />
 
        <RadioButton
 
            android:text="Satellite"
 
            android:id="@+id/dinner" />
 
        <RadioButton
 
            android:text="Streetview"
 
            android:id="@+id/all" />      
 
    </RadioGroup>
 
</LinearLayout>

and use it for a dialog:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
 
                        final View radioButtons = factory.inflate(R.layout.mapmenu,
 
                                        null);
 
                        return new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setTitle(
 
                                        "Map").setView(radioButtons)
 
                                        .create();
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

you should also add listeners to the group, so you can close the dialog on change.

thx for the reply.

i build the radiomenu, how you can see in my first post, inside the main menu. i thought android would process this xml-bunch and put my menu out. or is there a definition-mistake? With normal menu items this principle works fine.

hm, I am not sure it works that way? a menu in a menu? haven't tried that myself

sumdroid · by **sumdroid** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:04 pm

yes, this works.

but a group radiobuttons as a submenu in a menu throws nothing. not even an error.

thx for your help again.

but one question. should i use onCreate "constructor" or which abstract-function is the right one?

onCreate is called everytime your activity is created. so basically when your app starts.
so yes, this is where you do this stuff.
