Radio

The radio UI component displays 1 or more options and allows users to select 1 of them. For more information, see the Radio API.

This feature is supported in wearable applications only.

Basic Usage

To use a radio component in your application:

  1. Add a radio button with the elm_radio_add() function:

    Evas_Object *radio;

radio = elm_radio_add(parent);

  2. Set values and group the radio buttons:

    • Assign a unique value to each radio button with the elm_radio_state_value_set() function:

      elm_radio_state_value_set(radio, 1);

    • Group the radio buttons with the elm_radio_group_add() function. You can set one of the radio buttons as selected with the elm_radio_value_set() function.

      elm_radio_group_add(radio, group);

    • Group the radio buttons visually by packing them into a box.

  3. Register the callback functions.

    The following example shows how to define and register a callback for the changed signal:

    evas_object_smart_callback_add(radio, "changed", changed_cb, data);

void
changed_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "The value has changed\n");
}

The following example shows a simple use case of the radio component.

Example: Radio use case

Radio1 Radio2

Evas_Object *win;
Evas_Object *conf;
Evas_Object *nf;
Evas_Object *box;
Evas_Object *radio;
Evas_Object *group;

/* Starting right after the basic EFL UI Layout code */
/* win - conformant - naviframe */

box = elm_box_add(nf);
evas_object_show(box);
elm_naviframe_item_push(nf, "Radio", NULL, NULL, box, NULL);

/* Radio 1 */
/* Add a radio */
radio = elm_radio_add(box);
/* Configure the radio */
elm_radio_state_value_set(radio, 1);
evas_object_show(radio);
elm_box_pack_end(box, radio);

group = radio;

/* Radio 2 */
radio = elm_radio_add(box);
elm_radio_state_value_set(radio, 2);
evas_object_show(radio);
elm_box_pack_end(box, radio);
/* Add to the group */
elm_radio_group_add(radio, group);

/* Radio 3 */
radio = elm_radio_add(box);
elm_radio_state_value_set(radio, 3);
evas_object_show(radio);
elm_box_pack_end(box, radio);
elm_radio_group_add(radio, group);

/* Set 1 of the radio components as selected */
elm_radio_value_set(group, 1);

Callbacks

You can register callback functions connected to the following signals for a radio object.

Callback Description event_info
changed The radio button is selected. NULL

Note

The signal list in the API reference can be more extensive, but only the above signals are actually supported in Tizen.
