init the rb_toss_t1 and rb_toss_t2 before using them And init rb_opted,rb_tossed with findViewById too

   //no change
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_team);
    team1 = findViewById(R.id.tv_team1);
    team2 = findViewById(R.id.tv_team2);
    radioGroup1 = findViewById(R.id.radio_toss);
    radioGroup2 = findViewById(R.id.radio_opted);
    // findViewById first  before using them 
    rb_toss_t1 = findViewById(R.id.rb_toss_t1);
    rb_toss_t2 = findViewById(R.id.rb_toss_t2);
    //rb_opted,rb_tossed  init
    rb_opted = findViewById(R.id.rb_opted);
    rb_tossed  = findViewById(R.id.rb_tossed  );
    //then use function setText
    rb_toss_t1.setText(team1.getEditText().getText().toString());
    rb_toss_t2.setText(team2.getEditText().getText().toString());
