I want to draw charts like pie charts to display stats in my Android app. As Android doesn't support Swing and AWT, i wonder how can i draw charts in Android? Please note that i don't want to use a third party tool.
This is something i have come up with after looking into API Demos: package com.examples.piechart; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.RectF; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; public class PieChart extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(new SampleView(this)); } private static class SampleView extends View{ private Paint[] mPaints; private Paint mFramePaint; private boolean[] mUseCenters; private RectF[] mOvals; private RectF mBigOval; private float mStart; private float mSweep; private int mBigIndex; private static final float SWEEP_INC = 2; private static final float START_INC = 30; public SampleView(Context context) { super(context); mPaints = new Paint[4]; mUseCenters = new boolean[4]; mOvals = new RectF[4]; mPaints[0] = new Paint(); mPaints[0].setAntiAlias(true); mPaints[0].setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); mPaints[0].setColor(0x88FF0000); mUseCenters[0] = false; mPaints[1] = new Paint(mPaints[0]); mPaints[1].setColor(0x8800FF00); mUseCenters[1] = true; mPaints[2] = new Paint(mPaints[0]); mPaints[2].setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE); mPaints[2].setStrokeWidth(4); mPaints[2].setColor(0x880000FF); mUseCenters[2] = false; mPaints[3] = new Paint(mPaints[2]); mPaints[3].setColor(0x88888888); mUseCenters[3] = true; mBigOval = new RectF(40, 10, 280, 250); //mOvals[0] = new RectF( 10, 270, 70, 330); mOvals[1] = new RectF( 90, 270, 150, 330); mOvals[2] = new RectF(170, 270, 230, 330); mOvals[3] = new RectF(250, 270, 310, 330); mFramePaint = new Paint(); mFramePaint.setAntiAlias(true); mFramePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE); mFramePaint.setStrokeWidth(0); } private void drawArcs(Canvas canvas, RectF oval, boolean useCenter, Paint paint) { canvas.drawRect(oval, mFramePaint); canvas.drawArc(oval, mStart, mSweep, useCenter, paint); } @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE); drawArcs(canvas, mBigOval, mUseCenters[1], mPaints[1]); /* for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) { drawArcs(canvas, mOvals[i], mUseCenters[i], mPaints[i]); drawArcs(canvas, mOvals[1], mUseCenters[1], mPaints[1]); } */ drawArcs(canvas, mOvals[1], mUseCenters[1], mPaints[1]); mSweep += SWEEP_INC; //We need to set the mSweep to a percentage of 360 degrees. if (mSweep > 360) { mSweep -= 360; mStart += START_INC; if (mStart >= 360) { mStart -= 360; } mBigIndex = (mBigIndex + 1) % mOvals.length; } invalidate(); } } }; Wonder how can we improve this code further? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
