How can I make a RadioButton with overlapping text?



I'm adding programmatically multiple answers to a questions as RadioButtons in a RadioGroup (see code and image below).





I almost achieved it but instead of having a radio button with a text on its side (see image below), I would like to have only the text and the background.





Can I get rid of the radio button?





Or can I set my current background as the radio button (with checked/unchecked states), and add a text overlapping it?







RadioGroup answer_container = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.answer_container);



while (c.isAfterLast() == false) {



RadioButton answer = new RadioButton(PCItem.this);

answer.setText(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DBAdapter.KEY_ANS_TEXT)));

answer.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.btn_ans);

answer.setPadding((int)(30 * density), 0, 0, 0);

answer.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams((int)(775 * density), (int)(81 * density));

params.setMargins(0, (int)(20*density), 0, 0);

answer.setLayoutParams(params);



answer_container.addView(answer);



c.moveToNext();

}

  1. You can use radioButton.setButtonDrawable(). You can also specify different drawables for each button state (including checked/unchecked) using a StateListDrawable.

    To completely remove the button you can simply set it as null:

    <RadioButton
    android:button="@null"
    ...
    />


    Be aware that by code radioButton.setButtonDrawable(null); doesn't work! The correct way is to set an empty StateListDrawable:

    radioButton.setButtonDrawable(new StateListDrawable());


    If you have more items, you can create a custom style to override the default properties of RadioButton:

    <style name="CustomRadioButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.CompoundButton.RadioButton">
    <item name="android:button">@null</item>
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">0dp</item>
    </style>

  2. Ok, I made it using

    answer.setButtonDrawable(android.R.color.transparent);


    to remove the button, and using a selector as btn_ans:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_choix_unsel" />
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_choix_sel" />
    </selector>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
