android radio Button is not deselection when another radio button is selected

Question

I have a layout that has multiple radio buttons in different rows ( two columns of radio buttons separated by table rows) and when i select one of them,the previous selected doesn't get deselected.I keep selecting all the other's and none gets deselected . This only happens because of the rows as the straight layout works just fine .what am i doing wrong ?

   <RadioGroup
    android:id="@+id/radioGroup1"

When you allow single RadioButton Selection then your RadioButton must direct child of RadioGroup otherwise you have to manually handle each RadioButton selection and deselection. — Haresh Chhelana, Nov 28 '14 at 06:13
You are closing the `RadioGroup` with `/>`. You need the closing tag after the buttons in that group — codeMagic, Nov 28 '14 at 06:14
thanks guys but so how do i direct the radio buttons as children of radio group? — JUAN LUIS CARPINTEIRO, Nov 28 '14 at 06:28
What happens if you simply remove the `/` in your `RadioGroup` as Zoain said? — codeMagic, Nov 28 '14 at 16:52

Use the below code for selecting single radio button at a time. You should close the radio group only after all the radio button declared inside of the radio group.

 <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/radioGroup1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="17dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="17dp"
        android:orientation="vertical">

       <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/miliToCentimeters"
        android:layout_width="258dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
        android:checked="true"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:text="@string/milimetersToCentimeters"
        android:textSize="13sp" />
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/inchesToFoothesToFoot"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/inchesToFoot"         
            android:textSize="13sp" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/centiToMeters"
            android:layout_width="255dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"
            android:text="@string/centemetersToMeters"
            android:textSize="13sp" />
        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/inchesToYardsesToYards"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"

         android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"
         android:text="@string/milimetersToMeters"
         android:textSize="13sp" />
           <RadioButton
             android:id="@+id/feetToYardsetToYards"
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="match_parent"

            android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"
            android:text="@string/feetToMiles"
            android:textSize="13sp"/>

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/yardsToMilesdsToMiles"
            android:layout_width="255dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"
            android:text="@string/yardsToMiles"
            android:textSize="13sp" />

    </RadioGroup>

right i know that's in a manner in which all radio buttons will be one underneath another and so on but my goal is to have two columns in landscape display so i dont have to scroll down to see them all ? this is why i had table rows in them — JUAN LUIS CARPINTEIRO, Nov 28 '14 at 06:33
