if you use radio button except group then you will manage this manually so always try to use in side radio button group. — Yogendra, Feb 27 '14 at 07:03

You can use the <RadioGroup> to group the Radio buttons like this;

<RadioGroup 
    android:id="@+id/radioGroup"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/Red"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/red"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark" 
        android:onClick="onRadioButtonClicked" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/Green"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/green"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
        android:onClick="onRadioButtonClicked"/>

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/Blue"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/blue"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
        android:onClick="onRadioButtonClicked"/>

</RadioGroup>

AndroidGeek: Thanks for your code.But I made the same changes in my xml the thing is alignment is getting changed in the graphical layout. I've also assigned the orientation as horizontal what should I do for that? — Steve, Feb 28 '14 at 05:54
you need to handle other widget's alignment if you are using RelativeLayout as root ,so to avoid that you can use LinearLayout in place of that and set the orientation to horizontal — Pankaj, Feb 28 '14 at 06:17
