Question

How to manage two JRadioButtons in java so that only one of them can be selected at a time? Is there any method in java to take care of this or you need to build your own lo

Answer 1

You have to add them in a ButtonGroup

ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
group.add(birdButton);
group.add(catButton);

Ensure you add this code after the buttons are created using the new JRadioButton constructors, as appropriate.
