I have read a few threads on the subject but still can't see my radiobutton.
It's the only button in a panel, the panel is set to a small area within the same sceen space as the radiobutton. Panel Alpha set to 0 for invisibility, radiobutton aplha set to 255.
I clicked 'Set to Top' on both designer elements.
Panel colour - default (same as activity),

I feel I've tried everything, but obviously haven't! Any suggestions as to what else I can try?

Ooops, switch those Alpha values, the 'invisible' panel is set to 255 and the visible elements to 0

It works here. If the radiobutton is larger than it's enclosing panel, you may be just not seeing the radiobutton graphic. Try making sure that the Radiobutton size is smaller than the panel.

Edit re your second post: If the RadioButton alpha is 0 then you won't see it.

Still no luck, I can see the panel (I set Alpha to 13 instead of invisible so I can at least see the positioning).
Where are some shots of the designer.

The position of the radiobutton in the designer script is relative to the panel, not the activity, so topandbottom 73% throws the radiobutton out of the panel.

Thanks Derez, I tried to set the top+bottom and left and right to 0%,100% instead but still no luck.
I'm uploading a zip of a cutdown portion of my project in case anyone fancies a look because I'm making no headway.

Hi klaus, what did you change?
I am still not seeing the radiobutton :-(

could it be an Android 5.0 issue? I'm running on a nexus7 with android 5.0.

Click to expand...
100%x is the width of the activity, your panel is 60%x so I put 60%x and 7%y, which fits the size of the panel, and here it is (on android 5 emulator):
B4X: 
BoostPanel.SetLeftAndRight(20%x,80%x)
BoostPanel.SetTopAndBottom(73%y,80%y)
BOOST.SetLeftAndRight(0%x,60%x)
BOOST.SetTopAndBottom(0%y,7%y)
