Android GraphView 2 without labels

Question

I am currently trying to draw a graph within an Android application. The library I found is called GraphView (http://www.jjoe64.com/p/graphview-library.html). I am currently using version 2, which is available on GitHub.

Drawing graphs works really nicely. The code necessary to get a graph is the following:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Map<String,List<GraphEntry>> graphData = (...)

    if (graphData != null) {
        List<GraphEntry> entries = graphData.get("temperature");
        GraphView.GraphViewData[] data = new GraphView.GraphViewData[entries.size()];

        int i = 0;
        for (GraphEntry entry : entries) {
            data[i++] = new GraphView.GraphViewData(entry.getDate().getTime(), entry.getValue());
        }
        GraphView.GraphViewSeries graphViewSeries = new GraphView.GraphViewSeries("temperature", 0xffff0000, data);
        LineGraphView graphView = new LineGraphView(this, "temperature");
        graphView.addSeries(graphViewSeries);
        graphView.setShowLegend(true);

        LinearLayout graphLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);
        graphLayout.addView(graphView);
    }
}

This will produce a normal graph. Unfortunately, all kinds of labels are missing. The documentation tells that for the normal use case, one does not have to care about labels, as the library does this automatically. What am I doing wrong? I only get the plain graph, without any labels.

For the completeness, I am adding the graph to a linear layout. The appropriate layout file has the following contents:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:padding="5dp"
          android:id="@+id/layout"
          android:orientation="vertical"
    ></LinearLayout>

The GraphEntry class is only a container with a java.util.Date attribute and a double value attribute.

Thank you very much for any help,

Matthias

How did you implement this Graph Library in your Project..?? — mAc, Jun 06 '12 at 13:15
Hi. I used AChartEngine instead (http://www.achartengine.org/). You will find pretty nice tutorials on how to implement it into your application. Matthias — user1050133, Jun 07 '12 at 13:40

I had the same problem. This can be solved by removing the following line from the manifest file.

 android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

I know this is quite vague, but worked for me. I don't the exact reason why this happens. If u guys come across the better solution please do share it.

You should use the latest version from github and include that in your project. This will allow you to set various colours using

graphView.getGraphViewStyle().setGridColor(Color.GREEN);
graphView.getGraphViewStyle().setHorizontalLabelsColor(Color.YELLOW);
graphView.getGraphViewStyle().setVerticalLabelsColor(Color.RED);

I switched to another charting engine: AChartEngine. This one works out of the box.
