Draw line graph using achart engine in Android

/* Step 1: First you need to download the library from http://www.achartengine.org/content/download.html. */ /* Step 2: Now create a new project in Android Studio. Copy the file “achartengine- 1.0.0.jar” to the app>libs folder. Add the library as a dependency in build.gradle file. Now rebuild the project you should see your library in the libs folder. */ /* Step 3: Now as our chart is a type of view so we need to create a layout for it. I have called my view “chartlay” */ <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/chartlay" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="400dp" android:orientation="vertical"> /* Step 4: Now create an empty program which will be called in the onCreate method of the activity. I have called my program drawChart. */ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_charting); drawChart(); } /* Step 5: Now it is important to know that the achartengine library draws graph by taking a series as an argument not regular arrays. So we need to create a series and then enter our data in that series. */ int[] x = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}; int[] y = {10,15,12,13,15,19,12,18}; XYSeries series = new XYSeries("chart"); for(int i=0; i<x.length;i++){ series.add(x[i],y[i]); } /* In above code first we create our arrays which contain the x and y points we want to plot. Then we use constructer XYSeries() to define a new series. I have called it simply “series”. Now using series.add() method insert the data points in the series. */ /* Step 6: Now we need an XYMultipleSeriesDataset. XYMultipleSeriesDataset is passed as an argument to the drawing program at the end. */ XYMultipleSeriesDataset datas = new XYMultipleSeriesDataset(); I have called my dataset “datas” Now add the series to fill the dataset. datas.addSeries(series); /* Step 7: Now we need a renderer. A renderer can be understood as a painter of your chart. You can control various features of you chart through the renderer. Some of them I have demonstrated like color of the graph, pointstyle etc. */ XYSeriesRenderer renderer = new XYSeriesRenderer(); renderer.setColor(Color.RED); renderer.setPointStyle(PointStyle.DIAMOND); renderer.setFillPoints(true); renderer.setLineWidth(3); renderer.setDisplayChartValues(true); /* Step 8: Now create the XYMultipleSeriesRenderer. */ XYMultipleSeriesRenderer mRenderer = new XYMultipleSeriesRenderer(); /* Almost done, just final few steps. Add add your renderer to mRenderer. */ mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer); /* Create a LinearLayout object and initialize it to our “chartlay” layout. */ LinearLayout chartContainer = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.chartlay); /* Create a new view with the arguments and add it to the layout. */ View chart = ChartFactory.getLineChartView(getBaseContext(),datas,mRenderer); chartContainer.addView(chart);
