I would to create a number of radio button dinamically in a fragment, I only have problem with style. If I put radiobutton code in the xml file, default style is applied correctly, but when I create radiobutton through a function I see different style!

XML

<RadioGroup
            android:id="@+id/radiogroup"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:animationCache="false">

            <RadioButton
                android:text="RadioButton 1"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/radioButton3" />

            <RadioButton
                android:text="RadioButton 2"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/radioButton4" />


</RadioGroup>

RESULT

enter image description here

JAVA CODE

This code is put in onCreateView in the fragment

public void addRadioButton(Context ctx,int num){

    RadioGroup radioGroup= (RadioGroup) alertInflatedView.findViewById(R.id.radiogroup);

    for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
        RadioButton radioButton  = new RadioButton(ctx);
        radioButton.setId(1+i);
        radioButton.setText("Radio " + radioButton.getId());
        radioButton.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

        radioGroup.addView(radioButton);

    }

}

As you can see radio buttons have different style, someone could help me, if is possibile, to apply default style programmatically?

you have to create style on drawable or style.xml, as your requirement.

drawable/null_selector.xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > 
         <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" /> 
  </selector> 

Set each button to use it (and to center the text) like this (R.drawable.null_selector is selector XML):

Now, In your Activity, you must be implement such style.

  RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(ctx);
  radioButton.setText(Integer.toString(i));
  radioButton.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); 
  radioButton.setButtonDrawable(R.drawable.null_selector); 

I think, this will help you for implementing custom style in Radio Button.
