Rendered RadioButton not showing a circle (0) as expected

[Mark Bolduc]

If you are experiencing an issue please mention the full platform your issue applies to:
IDE: NetBeans/Eclipse/IDEANetbeans 11
Desktop OS Windows 10 Pro
Simulator  Latest

Device PC, IOS, Android

        RadioButton Daily = new RadioButton("Daily");
        Daily.setOppositeSide(false);

Shows a Check Mark when selected.

Expecting a Radio Button rendering.

Please see attached "CodenameOne_Designer_RadioButton.JPG" as how the radio button is rendered in the Codenameone Designer.

However on my PC and devices, we get undesirable rendering.

Please see attached "PC and Device_RadioButton_rendering.JPG"

Thoughts?

That's from your theme file. Check the constants tab of the designer to see that.

It is not clear which constants I need to set to change the radio button showing a check mark to a round radio button.

I don't understand why this is not the default behaviour.

Can you please advise which constants need to be set and the values for them?

Attached "CurrentThemeConstantsSet_03-25-2020.JPG" are the current constants set.

Sorry about that. On iOS there's no radio button (in the OS) so we use check marks to signify radio buttons.

If you have images of the radio button you can use the theme constants:

radioSelectedDisImage, radioSelectedImage, radioUnselectedDisImage, radioUnselectedImage,  radioSelectedDisFocusImage, radioSelectedFocusImage, radioUnselectedDisFocusImage and  radioUnselectedFocusImage

These are listed here: https://www.codenameone.com/manual/advanced-theming.html

Thanks.

((DefaultLookAndFeel) UIManager.getInstance().getLookAndFeel()).setRadioButtonImages(radio_button_on_icon, radio_button_off_icon);

Solved my issue, however the "DefaultLookAndFeel" class is deprecated, other than using theme constants, is there another class that will 

perform the setRadioButtonImages found in "DefaultLookAndFeel" ?

Regards

FYI, Using the theme constant does the job.

For others that are looking for a universal radio button look and feel, I have attached the 2 (on/off) images that provide simple on and off rendering.

"RadioButtonThemeConstants.JPG" shows the constants set in the designer.

"radio-button-on-icon.png" & "radio-button-off-icon.png"

Thanks.

The deprecation notice reads: this class is still crucial for some features in Codename One. The deprecation is here to indicate our desire to reduce usage/reliance on this class.

Some features such as radio button/checkbox images are only available there.
