XY Chart Example In Android Development

Description:
This example will show how you can draw xy chart using bitmap in android.

Algorithm:

1.) Create a new project by File-> New -> Android Project name it XYChartExample.

2.)
Write following into main.xml:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TableLayout

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#4B088A">

<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="20px">
</TableRow>

<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dip"
android:background="#FFEEE6E6"
/>

<TableRow>

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/testy_img"
android:layout_marginLeft="20px"
android:padding="20px"
/>

</TableRow>

<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dip"
android:background="#FFEEE6E6" />

<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="20px">

</TableRow>

</TableLayout>

 

3.) Run for output.

Steps:

1.) Create a project named XYChartExample and set the information as stated in the image.

Build Target: Android 4.2
Application Name: XYChartExample
Package Name: com.example.XYChartExample
Activity Name: XYChartExampleActivity
Min SDK Version: 4.2

2.) Open XYChartExampleActivity.java file and write following code there:
