SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, iOS Chart, Android Chart and JavaScript Chart Components

// Android Chart Examples

SciChart Android ships with ~90 Android Chart Examples which you can browse, play with, view the source-code and even export each SciChart Android Chart Example to a stand-alone Android Studio project. All of this is possible with the new and improved SciChart Android Examples Suite, which ships as part of our Android Charts SDK.

// Android Chart Cursors and Tooltips

Demonstrates the use of the CursorModifier, part of the ChartModifier API for getting information about Renderable Series and its displaying on tooltips.

Tip!

The SeriesInfo acts as a data-source for the data-point, and each SeriesInfo derived type contains:

– The X,Y values of the series under the cursor.
– The series color.
– The series name.

It can be extended or replaced by a custom SeriesInfo by creating your own SeriesInfoProvider for a Renderable Series
