Graphview not graphing

Question

I'm using the graphView library to graph data coming in from another activity in real time. Although the data comes in and no errors occur, but for some reason the data doesn't show up on the graph. I am trying to just graph the x data for now. Any ideas? I am using the Galaxy S7 to test.

            mSeries.appendData(new DataPoint(lastX ,dataVal), true, 10); // Data point, scroll to end, max data points

            Log.d("dataVal", "" + dataVal);
        }
    }
}

Is this log `Log.d("lastX", "" + lastX)` being printed out? – Onik Nov 05 '18 at 20:11 — Onik, Nov 05 '18 at 20:11
@Onik yes, and it is updating as it should – thunderbootyclap Nov 07 '18 at 17:35 — thunderbootyclap, Nov 07 '18 at 17:35
Does the resetData function have to be used somehow? – thunderbootyclap Nov 07 '18 at 18:15 — thunderbootyclap, Nov 07 '18 at 18:15

I figured it out for future generations. I placed the inside of the addEntry function into a handler and placed the graph.addSeries(mSeries); right after the appendData function.

public void addEntry(final String data){
        graphHandle.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                float dataVal = 0;
                try {

                    dataVal = Float.parseFloat(data);
                    mSeries.appendData(new DataPoint(lastX ,dataVal), true, 10); // Data point, scroll to end, max data points
                    lastX = lastX + 1;
                    graph.addSeries(mSeries);

                    //graphView.redrawAll();
                    //mSeries.resetData();
                    Log.d("lastX1", "" + lastX);
                    Log.d("dataVal1", "" + dataVal);

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Log.d("STR -> INT", "int dataVal contained string");
                    Log.d("lastX2", "" + lastX);
                    Log.d("dataVal2", "" + dataVal);
                }
            }
        }, 250);

    }
