It seems like the problem is that you cannot change a RadioButton's text from the onCreate method if it has already been set, or something like that. Anyway, there's a bug report with a project that demonstrates the problem here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8039&q=radiobutton&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
It turns out that I had to set the RadioButton text from the onResume event instead of onCreate, although I'm pretty sure it should have just worked automatically based on the resources.
