How to add chart from teechart library to an existing layout

Question

How to add a chart (from teechart library) to a layout that i created in xamarin android application?

Examples/tutorials that i found are changing all content view by using setcontentview method as follows.

However, I would like to add this as part of a layout.

Yes, this is possible as adding any other object to a layout, just use the AddView method with desired LayoutParams, for example:

Steema.TeeChart.TChart tChart1 = new Steema.TeeChart.TChart(this); 
RelativeLayout rLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(400, 400);
lp.LeftMargin = 0;
lp.TopMargin = 0;

rLayout.AddView(tChart1, lp);

it doesn't work. i think, its searching tags in axml file, we didn't add something there – alper Apr 08 '14 at 18:38
@alper this code doesn't need axml code. If you send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here, I'll try to help you solve the problem. However, the basic idea is using AddView method with desired LayoutParams. You can send your files at http://www.steema.net/upload – Narcís Calvet Apr 10 '14 at 07:11

Ok man take a look at this line:

  Steema.TeeChart.TChart tChart1 = new Steema.TeeChart.TChart(this);

It seems a view declaration, have you tried to add it on your xml file and then casting it using findViewById? This way you could add it as another view on your layout.

i can't add to my xml file, because it is not a default android tool so has not a xml tag (like textbox, label etc.) – alper Apr 07 '14 at 19:20
