Answer 1

Possibility 1 : you should declare your Acttivity on your Manifest File ,

if you already did it and it still doesn’t work , you should declare it with the name of the package if you activity is in another package :

<application ...>
<activity android:name="YouPackageName.YourActivity" /> // it should be on the <application> tag
</application>

and at last , Clean and RE execute your project .

Possibility 2 :

make sure that your RadioButtonGroup is defined on your main.xml layout , if it is , soo make sure that you didn’t import the android.R ; you should use import YourPackage.R;

and at last Clean and rebuild your project .

NB : you didn’t give the full stack trace of your NullPointerException , so we can’t determine what is the exact problem in your code ,
