Displaying Chart On Android

In this tutorial, we are going to learn, how to display chart or bar graphs on android for your statistical data.

To begin with the tutorial, lets create new project.

FILE–>NEW–>Android Project

Now right click on the project in Package explorer and go to Properties.

Properties–>Java Build Path–>Libraries–>Add external JARs..

Once your API is linked, you are ready now for coding your program. Here is the link where from you can download the API http://www.kidroid.com/kichart/

Now lets code the program. This is the complete code of android chart sample.

package com.google.android.chartView;
import com.kidroid.kichart.model.Aitem;

import com.kidroid.kichart.view.LineView;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.graphics.Color;

import android.os.Bundle;
public class chartView extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

LineView lv;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

String xaxis[]=new String[4];

xaxis[0]=”2006″;

xaxis[1]=”2007″;

xaxis[2]=”2008″;

xaxis[3]=”2009″;

float line1[]=new float[4];

line1[0]=120;

line1[1]=240;

line1[2]=500;

line1[3]=100;

float line2[]=new float[4];

line2[0]=100;

line2[1]=650;

line2[2]=700;

line2[3]=300;

float line3[]=new float[4];

line3[0]=50;

line3[1]=180;

line3[2]=360;

line3[3]=900;

Aitem items[]=new Aitem[3];

items[0]= new Aitem(Color.BLUE,”pauOut”,line1);

items[1]= new Aitem(Color.GREEN,”pauOut”,line2);

items[2]= new Aitem(Color.YELLOW,”pauOut”,line3);

lv=new LineView(this);

lv.setTitle(“Yearly Budget”);

lv.setAxisValueX(xaxis);

lv.setItems(items);

setContentView(lv);

}

}

here is the final view of the chart module. After this demo, you should get stuff like this.
