How can I place an EditText and TextView in a RadioButton?

Question

I have a RadioGroup inside of a RelativeLayout. I've got a few RadioButtons for different options, like "Bob", "Joe", and "Fred". However, I need to add an "Other..." option with an EditText right next to a RadioButton in case a user wants to enter "Steve". Is there a way to do this?

Just one idea that comes to mind is to use android:layout_marginLeft and android:layout_marginTop tags to position the EditText field where you need it to be. Be sure to use dip to support multiple densities across devices.

 <EditText android:layout_marginLeft="65dip" android:layout_marginTop="100dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="" /> 

Then, if the user selects your Other radio button, just grab the value from EditText .
