B4A Library GraphView Library (Source Code Added)

The so much awaited time is here, I have finally Updated the GraphView Library, there are some majors updates as the main jar file has been upgraded by the original author of this library.
This library is now complete, all methods and functions have been wrapped, although i have not fully tested it myself. I'am providing a small example to show some of the new features this library offers.

Note:
This library requires the AppCompat library done by Corwin42, thanks to him for this great library and it can be downloaded from here
AppCompat

Line Series
BarGraph Series
Points Series

Source Code has been added for whoever wants to continue maintaining this library as I no longer have the time to do it.
I had to do a lot of digging to find the source code but here it is, it can be downloaded from the following link.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NyFzI5SvKsDA3wDNC8K5ksFKpb61SI5L

  • With this new version you can use as many series as you wish (have not tested with more than 5 series)
  • The option to use Dates in the X axis is now also available.
  • This library allows you to have 2 Y Axis, it also includes a click listener for any Series you provide, you can click on any data point on the series and either show a toast message or log the data.
  • Custom Label Formatter
  • Change all Axis Text color and Text size
  • Change Graph's Title color and Text size
  • Live Graph
  • Change Points series to Circular, Square and Triangle
  • Display Data Point values on top of Bar graph series
  • Change the legend's physical position (Top, Middle, Bottom)
  • Many other options.......

Hope you guys find this useful, compared to other methods found here in the forum i find this way easier to use, as it only requires a few lines of code.
Please feel free to post your comments, recommendations and feedback.

The Example i've put together can be downloaded from here:

Walter, do you have any ideas on just how one would create a display with a logarithmic y scale using this library?

Secondly, the display x axis values are just a reflection of the number of y data points. In fact they can also represent other values, for instance in my application I display the number of counts collected in each of 510 energy bins. Now, those energy bins correlate to energy values - so ideally I would like to be able to display an x axis value that equals the bin number multiplied by some factor. Any thoughts?

Hi Valdog, the original library allows you to use custom x axis, i have not implemented that in my library yet, i will look into it when i have some free time.

Hi, i just checked and yes it looks like a bug, i don't check for any exception in my library in case you only want to use 2 series, what you can do for the meantime is set the data for series3 to 0 and also set the color of series3 to colors.transparent, that way it will not show up in your graph.

I will try to fix this as soon as i get a chance.

Thanks,
Walter

OK, got it - thanks!

Walter, what about the log Y scale? Is that something you could do, say if I were to pay for it?
 
Walter: I tried your new 1.35 lib, but I got the infamous on every button pressed: 'Unfortunately B4AGraphview Example has stopped'. It happened on a device OS 4.2.2 and on another with OS 5.0. I have all the below files in the additional lib folder:
upload_2015-4-4_10-21-51.png

upload_2015-4-4_10-20-38.png

EDIT: I uninstalled and re-installed the app and now everything is working as it should. No need to respond.
Thank you

Hi Walter,

Thanks for wrapping this library. I'm anxious to give it a try but your website seems to be gone.
Any chance you could post the example?
Thanks!
