Make my switches selected in Android

Question

When I launched this application and clicking on the dialog box, my radio buttons would not be selected as intended.

package edu.elon.cs.mobile; public class PTCalculator extends Activity{ private RadioButton maleRadioButton; private RadioButton femaleRadioButton; private EditText ageEdit; private EditText pushUpsEdit; private EditText sitUpsEdit; private EditText mileMinEdit; private EditText mileSecEdit; private Button calculate; private TextView score; protected AlertDialog genderAlert; private int currScore; private int age; private int sitUps; private int runTime; private int pushUps; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.pt); maleRadioButton = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.male); femaleRadioButton = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.female); ageEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.ageEdit); pushUpsEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.pushupEdit); sitUpsEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.situpEdit); mileMinEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.minEdit); mileSecEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.secEdit); calculate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.calculateButton); calculate.setOnClickListener(calculateButtonListener); score = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.scoreView); genderAlert = makeGenderDialog().create(); } private OnClickListener calculateButtonListener = new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { age = (Integer.parseInt(ageEdit.getText().toString())); pushUps = (Integer.parseInt(pushUpsEdit.getText().toString())); sitUps = (Integer.parseInt(sitUpsEdit.getText().toString())); int min = (Integer.parseInt(mileMinEdit.getText().toString())*60); int sec = (Integer.parseInt(mileSecEdit.getText().toString())); runTime = min + sec; if(maleRadioButton.isChecked()){ MalePTTest mPTTest = new MalePTTest(age, pushUps, sitUps, runTime); currScore = mPTTest.malePTScore(); score.setText((Integer.toString(currScore))); }else if(femaleRadioButton.isChecked()){ FemalePTTest fPTTest = new FemalePTTest(age, pushUps, sitUps, runTime); currScore = fPTTest.femalePTScore(); score.setText((Integer.toString(currScore))); }else genderAlert.show(); } }; public AlertDialog.Builder makeGenderDialog(){ AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage("Select a Gender") .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Female", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { femaleRadioButton.setSelected(true); FemalePTTest fPTTest = new FemalePTTest(age, pushUps, sitUps, runTime); currScore = fPTTest.femalePTScore(); score.setText((Integer.toString(currScore))); } }) .setNegativeButton("Male", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { maleRadioButton.setSelected(true); MalePTTest mPTTest = new MalePTTest(age, pushUps, sitUps, runTime); currScore = mPTTest.malePTScore(); score.setText((Integer.toString(currScore))); } }); return builder; } } 

Any suggestions?

Edit:

 maleRadioButton.setSelected(true); 

To:

 maleRadioButton.setChecked(true); 

Selected means that the view is highlighted (similar to focus), while setChecked sets the state of an element from the API:

public void setSelected (boolean selected) Because: API Level 1

Changes the selection state of this View. You can choose the type or not. Please note that selection is not the same as focus. Views are usually selected in the context of an AdapterView, such as a ListView or GridView; The selected view is the highlighted view. Options selected true if the view should be selected, false otherwise
