Radio<T> class Null safety

A Material Design radio button.

Used to select between a number of mutually exclusive values. When one radio button in a group is selected, the other radio buttons in the group cease to be selected. The values are of type T, the type parameter of the Radio class. Enums are commonly used for this purpose.

The radio button itself does not maintain any state. Instead, selecting the radio invokes the onChanged callback, passing value as a parameter. If groupValue and value match, this radio will be selected. Most widgets will respond to onChanged by calling State.setState to update the radio button's groupValue.

Here is an example of Radio widgets wrapped in ListTiles, which is similar to what you could get with the RadioListTile widget.

The currently selected character is passed into groupValue, which is maintained by the example's State. In this case, the first Radio will start off selected because _character is initialized to SingingCharacter.lafayette.

If the second radio button is pressed, the example's state is updated with setState, updating _character to SingingCharacter.jefferson. This causes the buttons to rebuild with the updated groupValue, and therefore the selection of the second button.

Requires one of its ancestors to be a Material widget.

flutter create --sample=material.Radio.1 mysample
