Radio Buttons & Radio Group

In this video we will learn, how to use RadioButtons and RadioGroups. We will react to clicks and display our selection in a Toast message and in a TextView.
Radio Groups will make sure, that we can select only one Radio Button at a time.
RadioButtons are helpful to implement multiple choice features into your app.
