How to use CheckBox and RadioButton in Toga？

[wanglifeng95]

It seems that I haven't seen CheckBox and RadioButton in Toga. Are there any widgets with similar functions available?

toga.Switch will be implemented as a checkbox on some platforms; there's no toga.Checkbox because some platforms (most notably mobile platforms) tend to avoid checkboxes.

Unfortunately, there's no radio button widget at present. This is probably the most notable "missing" widget from Toga's collection at present. You can get functionally equivalent behavior using a toga.Selection (i.e., select exactly 1 option from a list of options), but obviously that isn't visually the same.

Okay, thank you. For now, I will use Switch and Selection instead of Checkbox and RadioButton.

An idea:
What if both exists, Switch and Checkbox, and the platforms which do not support Checkbox by native, have a Switch instead.
Sure, it is bad, that you have two different classes which maps to the same widget layout on some platforms, but i think it is better instead of shrinking different kinds of widgets.

Thanks for the suggestion; I've opened #2225 to track this idea.
