Is there a good graphics library for Android?

Question

I need to display and display charts (now on charts, but more types may be needed later) in the android app I'm working on. I looked around a bit, and it doesn't seem like there are any really good, mature graphics libraries for Android.

Do you know anyone?

Edit to add some requirements details

• Graph charts
• Horizontal bar graphs
• Two-line bar charts
• Axis (including rotation 90 degrees along the y axis)
• Labels above each column in the chart
• Shaded or custom backgrounds

Answer 1

I used http://code.google.com/p/chartdroid/
"ChartDroid is an intent-based app" for creating static charts and graphs on Android.

Answer 2

achartengine is an open source library. It also has oriented graphics. It is easy to use and has apache 2.0, so if you want it at all, you can change the code to fine tune it. The documentation is not so good, but the demos are enough to understand everything that is required for all types of diagrams.

Supported chart types:

• line chart
• area chart
• scatter plot
• timeline
• Chart table
• pie chart
• bubble chart
• donut chart diagram
• range (high-low)

Take a look at Androidplot - it includes all of the features listed. As an additional data point, here is a comparison of the current top graphics libraries for Android.

If someone is still interested, there is NChart3D that allows 2d and 3d diagrams: nchart3d.com .
