SwiftUI: How to implement Radio button in SwiftUI - ios

Question

I'm creating a simple form app. In that, I have checkboxes and Radio buttons, but I don't know how to do it.
I have done below code to dynamically change the selected option's colour. But it can be select multiple values. I need to select only one value among 5 values like a radio button.
E.g:
I'm taping on the second radio button. Now if I select the fourth radio button, the second one should deselect and the fourth one should get selected.
struct DCTableCell: View {
#Binding var dcValue: String
#State var isSelected: Bool = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: {
print("Tapped")
self.isSelected.toggle()
}){
ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8)
.stroke(self.isSelected ? Color.init("borderSelected"): Color.init("border"))
.frame(height: 56)
.foregroundColor(.clear)
HStack {
Text(dcValue)
.font(.custom("Montserrat", size: 16))
.fontWeight(.medium)
.foregroundColor(self.isSelected ? Color.init("borderSelected") : .white)
.padding()
Spacer()
ZStack {
Circle()
.stroke(self.isSelected ? Color.init("borderSelected") : Color("circleBorder"))
.frame(width: 18, height: 18)
.padding()
Circle()
.frame(width: 10, height: 10)
.foregroundColor(self.isSelected ? Color.init("borderSelected"): Color.clear)
}
}
}
}
}
}

check this out...an easy to use SwiftUI RadiobuttonGroup for iOS
you can use it like this:
RadioButtonGroup(items: ["Rome", "London", "Paris", "Berlin", "New York"], selectedId: "London") { selected in
print("Selected is: \(selected)")
}
and here is the code:
struct ColorInvert: ViewModifier {
#Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
Group {
if colorScheme == .dark {
content.colorInvert()
} else {
content
}
}
}
}
struct RadioButton: View {
#Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme
let id: String
let callback: (String)->()
let selectedID : String
let size: CGFloat
let color: Color
let textSize: CGFloat
init(
_ id: String,
callback: #escaping (String)->(),
selectedID: String,
size: CGFloat = 20,
color: Color = Color.primary,
textSize: CGFloat = 14
) {
self.id = id
self.size = size
self.color = color
self.textSize = textSize
self.selectedID = selectedID
self.callback = callback
}
var body: some View {
Button(action:{
self.callback(self.id)
}) {
HStack(alignment: .center, spacing: 10) {
Image(systemName: self.selectedID == self.id ? "largecircle.fill.circle" : "circle")
.renderingMode(.original)
.resizable()
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
.frame(width: self.size, height: self.size)
.modifier(ColorInvert())
Text(id)
.font(Font.system(size: textSize))
Spacer()
}.foregroundColor(self.color)
}
.foregroundColor(self.color)
}
}
struct RadioButtonGroup: View {
let items : [String]
#State var selectedId: String = ""
let callback: (String) -> ()
var body: some View {
VStack {
ForEach(0..<items.count) { index in
RadioButton(self.items[index], callback: self.radioGroupCallback, selectedID: self.selectedId)
}
}
}
func radioGroupCallback(id: String) {
selectedId = id
callback(id)
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text("Example")
.font(Font.headline)
.padding()
RadioButtonGroup(items: ["Rome", "London", "Paris", "Berlin", "New York"], selectedId: "London") { selected in
print("Selected is: \(selected)")
}
}.padding()
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
struct ContentViewDark_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
.environment(\.colorScheme, .dark)
.darkModeFix()
}
}

Ok this is not an ideal solution but it works and hopefully opens your eyes to improve what you have. I give every RadioButton an ID and when the selected ID changes it updates:
struct DCTableCell: View {
var id: Int
#Binding var dcValue: String
#Binding var selectedID: Int
var body: some View {
Button(action: {
print("Tapped")
self.selectedID = self.id
}){
ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8)
.stroke(self.id == self.selectedID ? Color.blue : Color.white)
.frame(height: 56)
.foregroundColor(.clear)
HStack {
Text(dcValue)
.font(.custom("Montserrat", size: 16))
.fontWeight(.medium)
.foregroundColor(self.id == self.selectedID ? .blue : .white)
.padding()
Spacer()
ZStack {
Circle()
.stroke(self.id == self.selectedID ? Color.blue : .black)
.frame(width: 18, height: 18)
.padding()
Circle()
.frame(width: 10, height: 10)
.foregroundColor(self.id == self.selectedID ? Color.blue: Color.clear)
}
}
}
}
}
}
And here how to use it. maybe you should create an array with ids and the strings that you want to pass in.
struct ContentView: View {
#State var str = "lolz"
#State var selectedID = -1
var body: some View {
VStack {
ForEach((1...5), id: \.self) { index in
DCTableCell(id: index, dcValue: self.$str, selectedID: self.$selectedID)
}
}
}
}
I hope this helps!

I have a similar solution, use the labels as the hashable tag which makes it very straight. So you only need to setting the outer layer: CustomDCPicker, like a general picker.
UIHostingController(rootView: CustomDCPicker())
struct CustomDCPicker: View {
#State var dcValue: String = ""
var body: some View {
VStack{
Text(dcValue).bold()
DCTable.init(dcValue: $dcValue, Labels: ["sample1","sample2","sample3","sample4","sample5"])
}
}
}
struct DCTable: View {
#Binding var dcValue: String
var Labels: [String] = []
var body: some View {
ForEach(Labels, id:\.self){
DCTableCell(dcValue: self.$dcValue, myLabel: $0)
}
}
}
struct DCTableCell: View {
#Binding var dcValue: String
var isSelected: Bool {
get{ self.dcValue == self.myLabel}
}
var myLabel : String
var body: some View {
Button(action: {
print("Tapped")
self.dcValue = self.myLabel
}){
ZStack {
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8.0)
.stroke(self.isSelected ? Color.red: Color.yellow)
.frame(height: 56)
.foregroundColor(.clear)
HStack {
Text(myLabel)
//.font(.custom("Montserrat", size: 16))
.fontWeight(.medium)
.foregroundColor(self.isSelected ? Color.red : .black)
.padding()
Spacer()
ZStack {
Circle()
.stroke(self.isSelected ? Color.red : Color.black)
.frame(width: 18, height: 18)
.padding()
Circle()
.frame(width: 10, height: 10)
.foregroundColor(self.isSelected ? Color.red: Color.clear)
}
}
}
}
}
}
