SciChart’s Android Charts are popular with traders as they are a good fit for use in real-time trading systems, even in demanding, fast moving markets.
This example demonstrates how to generate a simple Android Candlestick chart in code. The FastCandlestickRenderableSeries requires an OhlcDataSeries, which contains one X-point and four Y-points (Open, High, Low, Close).

Candles are drawn using the pens set by the setStrokeUpStyle(PenStyle), setStrokeDownStyle(PenStyle) methods and the brushes set by the setFillUpBrushStyle(BrushStyle) and setFillDownBrushStyle(BrushStyle) methods, which are used depending on whether Open > Close or not.
