Specific type of value field to propose a choice between a limited number of possibilities.

  • implements: I obj.pngIRadioButtonGroup<T>
  • extends: C obj.pngAbstractRadioButtonGroup<T>

Description

The RadioButtonGroup can be used to show a CodeType or a LookupCall as RadioButtons. A RadioButtonGroup is a normal value field with parameterized type <T>.

Only one of the RadioButtons can be selected.

Another possibility is to define the radio Button as Inner-Class: RadioButton. In this case, the value of the field is defined in each RadioButton with the RadioValue property.


A RadioButtonGroup can also contain some other fields in the group (as inner class).

Merge from forum: "list" of sections where a radio button is on the left and a group box or other field is on the right


Example

Here is some code to propose to choose between three colors (red, green and blue):

public class ColorGroup extends AbstractRadioButtonGroup<String> {
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
    return TEXTS.get("Color");
  }
 
  @Order(10.0)
  public class RedButton extends AbstractRadioButton {
 
    @Override
    protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
      return TEXTS.get("Red");
    }
 
    @Override
    protected Object getConfiguredRadioValue() {
      return "RED";
    }
  }
 
  @Order(20.0)
  public class GreenButton extends AbstractRadioButton {
 
    @Override
    protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
      return TEXTS.get("Green");
    }
 
    @Override
    protected Object getConfiguredRadioValue() {
      return "GREEN";
    }
  }
 
  @Order(30.0)
  public class BlueButton extends AbstractRadioButton {
 
    @Override
    protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
      return TEXTS.get("Blue");
    }
 
    @Override
    protected Object getConfiguredRadioValue() {
      return "BLUE";
    }
  }
}

The value can be set directly:

getColorGroup().setValue("RED");

where getColorGroup() is the convienece function add by the Scout SDK to get the ColorGroup field:

public ColorGroup getColorGroup() {
  return getFieldByClass(ColorGroup.class);
}

Of course, as for any other value field, it is possible to use the formData:

formData.getColorGroup().setValue("BLUE");


Another possibility to create the radio button is to use a code type. Here we use YesOrNoCodeType:

public class YesOrNoGroup extends AbstractRadioButtonGroup<Boolean> {
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
    return TEXTS.get("YesOrNo");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected Class<? extends ICodeType> getConfiguredCodeType() {
    return YesOrNoCodeType.class;
  }
}

The <T> of AbstractRadioButtonGroup needs to match the Id returned by the Code.

The value can also be set directly or with the formData:

getFieldByClass(YesOrNoGroup.class).setValue(Boolean.FALSE)
formData.getYesOrNoGroup().setValue(Boolean.TRUE);
