Draw Graph in Android

Graph play a very important role in showing data in  Graphical view. User generally find comparison  in a graph  very interesting. It gives a clear view of something going up or down or how things related to each other or what is previous record  and is next coming forecast for that  etc.
  But in android there is no graph  related API . We can draw graph in android by using general  android  API.  The other way is to use third party graph library to draw the graph.  So  finally we have to two option
 (1.) Draw graph by using general android API  and
 (2.) Draw the graph by using Third party graph library
       (As  for Example AChartEngine, AndroidPlot, Google Chart , AFreeChart etc)

Here I am going to show a example of Pie chart  in both scenario  :
Firstly I am using case A ( by using general android API to draw a Graph)
These are the  4 files and class we need to draw the graph :-

1. pie_chart_activity.xml ( pie chart view purpose)
2. PieChartActivity.java ( main class to draw a pie chart )
3. Piechart.java ( pie chart properties class)
4. PieItem.java ( attributes class )

Step 1.
Create a Project in Your Eclipse IDE. Then copy and paste following file and java class in your application .
pie_chart_activity.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:paddingRight="5dp"
        android:text="PartD"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/parte"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:paddingRight="5dp"

Now I am going to draw graph by using Third party library. Here i am using AchartEngin to draw graph :-
At first download AchartEngin and put it on libs folder of Your Eclipse project. You can download it from Here

Now  Create two java class in src and one  xml file in res folder.
1. DrawChart.java
2.GraphActivity.java
3. activity_graph.xml
copy and paste following code in your DrawChart.java

package com.sks.mks.piechart;

import org.achartengine.ChartFactory;

import org.achartengine.GraphicalView;

import org.achartengine.model.CategorySeries;

import org.achartengine.renderer.DefaultRenderer;

import org.achartengine.renderer.SimpleSeriesRenderer;

import android.content.Context;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.graphics.Color;

import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

public class DrawChart {

private GraphicalView ChartView1;

private GraphicalView mChartView2;

static int count=5;

int[] Mycolors = new int[] { Color.RED, Color.parseColor("#FA58F4"),

Color.parseColor("#0B0B61"),

Color.parseColor("#800080"),Color.parseColor("#008000"),Color.GRAY };

public Intent execute(Context context,RelativeLayout parent) {

int[] colors = new int[count];

for(int i=0;i<count;i++)

{

colors[i]=Mycolors[i];

}

DefaultRenderer renderer = buildCategoryRenderer(colors);

renderer.setPanEnabled(false);// Disable User Interaction

renderer.setLabelsColor(Color.BLACK);

renderer.setShowLabels(true);

//renderer.setChartTitle("Total Assets");

renderer.setLabelsTextSize(12);

CategorySeries categorySeries = new CategorySeries("Fruits");

categorySeries.add("Apple", 36);

categorySeries.add("Banana", 23);

categorySeries.add("Grapes", 30);

categorySeries.add("Guava", 8);

categorySeries.add("Orange", 3);

ChartView1=ChartFactory.getPieChartView(context, categorySeries,renderer);

parent.addView(ChartView1);

return ChartFactory.getPieChartIntent(context, categorySeries, renderer,null);

}

protected DefaultRenderer buildCategoryRenderer(int[] colors)

{

DefaultRenderer renderer = new DefaultRenderer();

for (int color : colors) {

SimpleSeriesRenderer r = new SimpleSeriesRenderer();

r.setColor(color);

renderer.addSeriesRenderer(r);

}

return renderer;

} 

} 

Now  put following code in GraphActivity.java

package com.sks.mks.piechart;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.view.Menu;

import android.widget.RelativeLayout; 

public class GraphActivity extends Activity {

       RelativeLayout LayoutToDisplayChart;

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

              setContentView(R.layout.activity_graph);

              LayoutToDisplayChart=(RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relative);

              Intent achartIntent = new DrawChart().execute(GraphActivity.this, LayoutToDisplayChart);

                          

       }

}

lastly put following code in xml file:-

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    tools:context=".GraphActivity" >

<RelativeLayout

android:id="@+id/relative"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

</RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout> 

Happy Coding !!!
