HelloCharts for Android

Charting library for Android compatible with API 8+(Android 2.2). Works best when hardware acceleration is available, so API 14+(Android 4.0) is recommended. Apache License 2.0.

Features

• Line chart(cubic lines, filled lines, scattered points)
• Column chart(grouped, stacked, negative values)
• Pie chart
• Bubble chart
• Combo chart(columns/lines)
• Preview charts(for column chart and line chart)
• Zoom(pinch to zoom, double tap zoom), scroll and fling
• Custom and auto-generated axes(top, bottom, left, right, inside)
• Animations

Screens and Demos

• Code of a demo application is in hellocharts-samples directory, requires appcompat v21.
• The demo app is also ready for download on Google Play.
• Short video is available on YouTube.

Download and Import

Android Studio/Gradle

• Maven Central/jCenter, add dependency to your build.gradle:

   dependencies{
		compile 'com.github.lecho:hellocharts-library:1.5.8@aar'
   }

• JitPack.io, add jitpack.io repositiory and dependency to your build.gradle:

   repositories {
       maven {
           url "https://jitpack.io"
       }
   }
   
   dependencies {
       compile 'com.github.lecho:hellocharts-android:v1.5.8'
   }

Eclipse/ADT

• Download the latest release jar file.
• Copy hellocharts-library-<version>.jar into the libs folder of your application project.

Usage

Every chart view can be defined in layout xml file:

   <lecho.lib.hellocharts.view.LineChartView
       android:id="@+id/chart"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent" />

or created in code and added to layout later:

   LineChartView chart = new LineChartView(context);
   layout.addView(chart);

Use methods from *Chart classes to define chart behaviour, example methods:

   Chart.setInteractive(boolean isInteractive);
   Chart.setZoomType(ZoomType zoomType);
   Chart.setContainerScrollEnabled(boolean isEnabled, ContainerScrollType type);

Use methods from data models to define how chart looks like, example methods:

   ChartData.setAxisXBottom(Axis axisX);
   ColumnChartData.setStacked(boolean isStacked);
   Line.setStrokeWidth(int strokeWidthDp);

Every chart has its own method to set chart data and its own data model, example for line chart:

   List<PointValue> values = new ArrayList<PointValue>();
   values.add(new PointValue(0, 2));
   values.add(new PointValue(1, 4));
   values.add(new PointValue(2, 3));
   values.add(new PointValue(3, 4));

   //In most cased you can call data model methods in builder-pattern-like manner.
   Line line = new Line(values).setColor(Color.BLUE).setCubic(true);
   List<Line> lines = new ArrayList<Line>();
   lines.add(line);

   LineChartData data = new LineChartData();
   data.setLines(lines);

   LineChartView chart = new LineChartView(context);
   chart.setLineChartData(data);

After the chart data has been set you can still modify its attributes but right after that you should call set*ChartData() method again to let chart recalculate and redraw data. There is also an option to use copy constructor for deep copy of chart data. You can safely modify copy in other threads and pass it to set*ChartData() method later.
