{
    RadioButton button = (RadioButton) v;
    boolean checkBox1Selected;
    boolean checkBox2Selected = false;

    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
        button.getId()+ " was chosen."+R.id.wificheckBox,
        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    if ( button.getId() ==R.id.wificheckBox) {
        // Toggle status of checkbox selection
        checkBox1Selected = radiowifiButton.isChecked();

        // Ensure that other checkboxes are not selected
        if (checkBox2Selected) {
            radiomobileButton.setChecked(false);
            checkBox2Selected = false;
        }
        else if (button.getId() ==R.id.wifimobilecheckBox) {
            // Toggle status of checkbox selection
            checkBox2Selected = radiomobileButton.isChecked();
            // Ensure that other checkboxes are not selected
            if (checkBox1Selected) {
                radiowifiButton.setChecked(false);

As the top voted answer didn't work for me as for many others. I am sharing the method that i used and its working perfectly.

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

            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/rb_female"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
                android:button="@drawable/selector_radio_button"
                android:text="Female" />

            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/rb_male"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:button="@drawable/selector_radio_button"
                android:text="Male" />
</RadioGroup>

Setting the android:checkedButton="@+id/rb_female" worked for me in RadioGroup.

To check/uncheck radio buttons not part of a RadioGroup, add a method in the android GUI designer under the RadioButton Properties 'onClick' (In this example radio1_onClick).

In your activity.xml under the xml for the RadioButton

RadioButton 
    [blah blah blah]
    android:id="@+id/radio1"
    android:onClick="radio1_onClick"

In your activity_main.xml you would write the following method.

private void radio1_onClick(View v)
{
    CompoundButton b=(CompoundButton)findViewById(R.id.radio1);
    b.setChecked(true); /* light the button */

    //b.setChecked(false); /* unlight the button */
}

Your requirement is not clear. Would you mind to make it simpler. I tried my best to understand your requirements and these are the findings given below :(.

A radio button can have text. So you don't have to add another TextView in your layout. Please remove them and add a simple android:text="blah.. blah.." to your radiobutton.

With my understanding you have two doubts.

How to customize RadioButtons with custom drawables??

Checkout the answer here.

How to deselect the previously selected radiobutton??

The truth is you don't have to do it manually as you are keeping those radiobuttons into a single radiogroup.

Hope this will help you.

You should remove your onRadioButtonClick method and add OnCheckedChangeListener to your radiogroup. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener.html

I guess by implementing your own click handler your are overwriting some functionality of the radiogroup.

If they are in a radiogroup, only one can be selected at a time. If you want both to be able to be selected, remove them from the radiogroup.
