I am facing some weird problems with my (Line) GraphView! To explain it a bit better I'll add a pic that shows what happens when I start scrolling horizontal (vertical scrolling is not needed).
The thing is: The DataPoints are displayed correctly, but not my labels! I wrote the correct label in red color into the pictures above!
Whenever I start scrolling the labels start to "jump" around weirdly.
The DataPoints are received from a SharedPreference file with String/Integer pairs [Strings are always MMMyyyy (f.e. "Mar2020")]
I get the pairs out of my SP-file, put the Strings as static labels into my graph use the DataPoints in this way "logical" way (not the actual code!)
DataPoint[0] = (0, valueOfKey0)
DataPoint[1] = (1, valueOfKey1)
Here is the code how the graph is called for / drawn in the Activity
private void setupGraph(final GraphView graph, String subName){
GraphDataHelper graphDataHelper = new GraphDataHelper(mContext);
LineGraphSeries<DataPoint> series;
/*Have to call .removeAllSeries to draw each graph individually
* Otherwise they will be drawn over another!*/
graph.removeAllSeries();
/*Gets Values from each Sub
* --> Gets values form each key/value pair of specific SharedPreference-file
* --> sets values in order (0, 1, 2,... n)*/
series = new LineGraphSeries<DataPoint>(graphDataHelper.generateGraphData(subName));
series.setDrawDataPoints(true);
series.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.casualWhite));
series.setAnimated(true);
graph.addSeries(series);
/*Fill Labels for X-Axis:
* Get the specific Monthly-Keys for the choosen Sub
* In special cases extra rules are declared in .getSpecificSubMonthKeys() method
* Put all entries of ArrayList in Array (StaticLabelsFormatter only works with "normal" Array)*/
ArrayList<String> array_paths = graphDataHelper.getSpecificSubMonthKeys(subName);
int size = array_paths.size();
String[] paths = new String[size];
for (int i=0; i<size; i++){
paths[i] = array_paths.get(i);
}
StaticLabelsFormatter staticLabelsFormatter = new StaticLabelsFormatter(graph);
staticLabelsFormatter.setHorizontalLabels(paths);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setLabelFormatter(staticLabelsFormatter);
graph.getViewport().setXAxisBoundsManual(true);
if(size == 5 || size > 5){
graph.getViewport().setMinX(0.0);
graph.getViewport().setMaxX(4.0);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setNumHorizontalLabels(5);
} else if(size == 4){
graph.getViewport().setMinX(0.0);
graph.getViewport().setMaxX(3.0);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setNumHorizontalLabels(4);
} else if(size == 3){
graph.getViewport().setMinX(0.0);
graph.getViewport().setMaxX(2.0);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setNumHorizontalLabels(3);
} else if(size == 2){
graph.getViewport().setMinX(0.0);
graph.getViewport().setMaxX(1.0);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setNumHorizontalLabels(2);
}
graph.getViewport().setScrollable(true);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setHorizontalLabelsColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.midBlue));
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setVerticalLabelsColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.midBlue));
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setGridColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.darkBlue));
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setPadding(50);
graph.getGridLabelRenderer().setLabelsSpace(30);
I call for .removeAllSeries because the User is able to call for another graph via a dropdown-Spinner.
Also I set different MinX & MaxX Points because there can be the case that an entry doesn't have 5 DataPoints yet and so I change the Viewport in regard of that (didn't find a better solution for that so I am also open for some better code here, but it does work this way). My SharedPreference-file always has a minimun of 2 key/value pairs
Also little extra question: Is there a way to give ONLY the horizontal labels some extra labelspace. If I use setLabelSpace it will also apply on the vertical labels and I do not want that. But the horizontal labels are just so close to the axis.
Also sorry for ugly code. It was my first time using GraphView!
Thanks ahead!
