RadioGroup<T> class

A widget that creates a set of radio buttons in a single, interconnected group.

Individual Radio Button

Each radio button is a Radio widget housed inside of a Row along with a either the value itself if it is a widget or a Text widget with the value as a string to label the button for the user to know what the button is representing.

One of these is created for every value that comes into this builder.

Vertical Layout

When the RadioGroupOrientation.vertical orientation is selected, this returns a Column which contains the Row widgets described in the "Individual Radio Button" section above.

This example shows the creation of a radio group that is aligned vertically.

RadioGroupController myController = RadioGroupController();

RadioGroup(
  controller: myController,
  values: ["Choice1", "Choice2", "Choice3"],
)

Horizontal Layout

When the RadioGroupOrientation.horizontal orientation is selected, this returns a Wrap which contains the Row widgets described in the "Individual Radio Button" section above.

This example shows the creation of a radio group that is aligned horizontally. It also has a real time updating method sent into it which will be called every time the buttons switch.

RadioGroupController myController = RadioGroupController();

RadioGroup(
  controller: myController,
  values: ["Choice1", "Choice2", "Choice3"],
  onChanged: (value) {
    liveChangeHere();
  },
  orientation: RadioListOrientation.Horizontal,
)

Retrieving Selected Value

This example shows what to do if you want to see which choice is selected from the two examples above.

print("The chosen value is: ${myController.value.toString()}");
