Hi Marcus,

I’m afraid we have a limited support of SeriesSelectionModifier for stacked series, because it can only select/deselect entire renderable series from renderable series collection of chart, so in case of stacked series it can only select/deselect all series or none of them. To add proper support for stacked series you would need to create custom selection modifier.

Theretically you can use our hit test API ( we have an example which shows how to use it ) to determine which renderable series was hit at specified coordinates of chart (https://www.scichart.com/documentation/android/current/webframe.html#SciChart.Charting~com.scichart.charting.visuals.renderableSeries.hitTest.HitTestInfo~hitRenderableSeries.html). You can get series name from this HitTestInfo like this and check if match name set for DataSeries(e.g. USA, China, India etc ):

    final IRenderableSeries hitRenderableSeries = hitTestInfo.hitRenderableSeries;
    if(hitRenderableSeries != null) {
        final String seriesName = hitRenderableSeries.getDataSeries().getSeriesName();
    }

Hope this will help you!

Best regards,
Yura

Thank Yura for your quick reply. that seems to work thanks. Although I am wondering why the onTouch event is always called twice (its also called twice in the hit test api example)

Hi Marcus, onTouch() is internally called by Android OS during dispatching MotionEvent through View hierarchy. Have you checked MotionEvent’s action? I believe it’s possible that first time it could be ACTION_DOWN and second time ACTION_UP.
