I tried to create a simple pie chart, but my app crashes with the following expection:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.scichart.drawing.common.FontStyle.initPaint(android.graphics.Paint)' on a null object reference
at com.scichart.charting.visuals.renderableSeries.PieDonutDrawingManagerBase.a(SourceFile:118)
at com.scichart.charting.visuals.renderableSeries.PieDonutDrawingManagerBase.drawLabels(SourceFile:110)

at com.scichart.charting.visuals.c.onDraw(SourceFile:62)
at android.view.View.draw(View.java:16178)
Here is my initialization code (Kotlin):
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?)
{
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val chartSurface = view.findViewById(R.id.chart)
val builder = SciChartBuilder.instance()
val pieSeries = builder
.newPieSeries()
.withSegments(builder
.newPieSegment()
.withValue(40.0)
.build(),
builder
.newPieSegment()
.withValue(20.0)
.build())
.build()
chartSurface.renderableSeries.add(pieSeries)
}
The SciPieChartSurface is inside a CardView inside a Constraintlayout if that could matter:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="@+id/card_chart"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<com.scichart.charting.visuals.SciPieChartSurface
android:id="@+id/chart"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Hi Miha,
It’s a bit strange because I tried to run example with code which is similar to what you’ve provided and it worked as it should.
It looks like at least one of pie segments doesn’t have font style which is strange because by default it should pick up it from chart theme ( do you use some custom themes or something like this? ). Anyway I believe you can fix it by setting title style manually for each pie segment.
Unfortunately we don’t have a method for setting title style in builder so you need to extract and save each PieSegment and then call setTitleStyle() with desired font style. Also i believe you need to set some colors for your pie segments:
final FontStyle pieChartFontStyle = sciChartBuilder.newFont().withTextColor(Color.WHITE).withTextSize(12, TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP).build();
final PieSegment pieSegment = sciChartBuilder.newPieSegment().withValue(40).build();
pieSegment.setTitleStyle(pieChartFontStyle);
pieSegment.setFillStyle(new SolidBrushStyle(Color.RED));
Does fix the exception?
Best regards,
Yura

Thank you for your answer! You are correct, I have made a custom theme which I use for other charts and I have forgot to set the theme of this pie chart. Though I would think the default theme would be used if none was set? By the way, your code fix also fixed the problem :)
