Android Radio Button not working properly

Question

I am trying to make a math app for little kids. And there is kind of an activity to customize the settings of the math questions. (number of digits, + or -, whether timer is enabled etc.) And I am doing the number of digits part. Here's my layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
                android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
                android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
                android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
                tools:context=".MainActivity"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:orientation="vertical">
    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:id="@+id/customize_menu"
        android:layout_weight="9">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/digit_text"
                android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_title"/>

            <RadioGroup
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <RadioButton
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="1"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"/>

                <RadioButton
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="2"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"
                    android:checked="true"/>

                <RadioButton
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="3"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"/>

            </RadioGroup>

        </LinearLayout>

    </ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_weight="1">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/button_trophies"/>
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/button_start"/>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

As you can see, I set the radio button with the text "2" to be checked by default. However, when I run the app and click on the radio button "3", both radio button "2" and "3" is checked! Then I tried to click on the radio button "1" and now only radio button "1" and "2" is checked. In other words, whatever radio button I press, radio button "2" is always checked. But that certainly isn't how radio buttons work, right?

Questions: How can I fix this behaviour without changing the fact that the the radio button "2" is checked by default? Why are they having this behaviour?

give id to your radiobutton and problem is solved

           <RadioButton android:id="@+id/btn1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="1"
                android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"/>

            <RadioButton android:id="@+id/btn2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="2"
                android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"
                android:checked="true"/>

            <RadioButton android:id="@+id/btn3"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="3"
                android:textSize="@dimen/customize_menu_radio"
                android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/radio_button_spacing"/>
