This example demonstrate about How to use Line chart graph in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Open build.gradle(module level) and add library dependency.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/proguard/androidx-annotations.pro' } packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/license.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt' exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0' } compileSdkVersion 28 defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.andy.myapplication" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3' implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.1.0-alpha' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2' }
Step 3 − Open build.gradle(application level) and add library dependency.
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir }
Step 4 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android = "https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app = "https://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools = "https://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" tools:context = ".MainActivity"> <com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.LineChart android:id = "@+id/lineChart" android:layout_width = "fill_parent" android:layout_height = "fill_parent" /> </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
In the above code, we have taken Line Chart view to show Line chart
Step 4 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.andy.myapplication; import android.graphics.Color; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.LineChart; import com.github.mikephil.charting.data.Entry; import com.github.mikephil.charting.data.LineData; import com.github.mikephil.charting.data.LineDataSet; import com.github.mikephil.charting.utils.ColorTemplate; import java.util.ArrayList; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { LineChart lineChart; LineData lineData; LineDataSet lineDataSet; ArrayList lineEntries; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); lineChart = findViewById(R.id.lineChart); getEntries(); lineDataSet = new LineDataSet(lineEntries, ""); lineData = new LineData(lineDataSet); lineChart.setData(lineData); lineDataSet.setColors(ColorTemplate.JOYFUL_COLORS); lineDataSet.setValueTextColor(Color.BLACK); lineDataSet.setValueTextSize(18f); } private void getEntries() { lineEntries = new ArrayList<>(); lineEntries.add(new Entry(2f, 0)); lineEntries.add(new Entry(4f, 1)); lineEntries.add(new Entry(6f, 1)); lineEntries.add(new Entry(8f, 3)); lineEntries.add(new Entry(7f, 4)); lineEntries.add(new Entry(3f, 3)); } }
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen –
In the above result, it is showing Line chart as per our data set values.
