Hi,

I’d like to enable AnnotationCreationListener with a toggle button pressed down, and disable it with the button released. It’s different from the Android sample code in Create Annotation Dynamically. I have a few questions when I’m trying to code. I’m not sure if my approach is on the right track. Please advise, thanks.

// insert button listener
    insertAnnotationButton = findViewById(R.id.annotationInsertButton);
    insertAnnotationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            // TODO: add chartmodifier/annotationCreationModifier when button pressed down
            if (insertAnnotationButton.isChecked()) {
                annotationCreationModifier.setAnnotationType(???); // how to set type to vertical line annotation?
                DefaultAnnotationFactory annotationFactory = new DefaultAnnotationFactory();
                annotationFactory.setFactoryForAnnotationType(DefaultAnnotationFactory.VERTICAL_LINE_ANNOTATION, new IAnnotationFactory() {
                    @NonNull
                    @Override
                    public IAnnotation createAnnotation(@NonNull ISciChartSurface parentSurface, int annotationType) {
                        return sciChartBuilder.newVerticalLineAnnotation().withIsEditable(true).withStroke(1, White).withVerticalGravity(Gravity.FILL_VERTICAL).build();
                    }
                });
                annotationCreationModifier.setAnnotationFactory(annotationFactory);
                annotationCreationModifier.setAnnotationCreationListener(new OnAnnotationCreatedListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onAnnotationCreated(IAnnotation iAnnotation) {
                        // how to get X coordinate of the annotation and update my annotation variable

                    }
                });
                ecmSurface.getChartModifiers().add(sciChartBuilder.newModifierGroup().withModifier(annotationCreationModifier)..build());
            } else {
                // how to remove annotationCreationModifier from ChartModifiers?
                ecmSurface.getChartModifiers().remove(???);
            }
        }
    });

I am using StackedColumnRenderableSeries and I have a problem when a data is displayed as it shows the incomplete graph as the second attached image.
Thank you

var xAxis = new DateAxis(this)
{
GrowBy = new DoubleRange(0.1, 0.1),
AxisTitle = “”,
AutoRange = AutoRange.Always,
TextFormatting = “MMM yyyy”,
DrawMajorGridLines = false,
DrawMinorGridLines = false,
AxisBandsStyle = new SolidBrushStyle(0xfff9f9f9),
};

Hello,
in SciChart Android the vertically-oriented axis title is displayed like this:

I’d like to rotate the title -180 degrees, so that it looks like that (that is the default behaviour in SciChart iOS):

Is there a way to achieve that?

It seems most of the modifiers bring up tooltip data with a pan, and then it goes away when the user lifts their finger. Is there any way to bring up tooltip data with a tap (and does not go away when the finger has lifted)? The main problem that we’re trying to solve is that we would like to be able to pan to look at the chart (and don’t want an axis pan), but would also like to bring up tooltip data.

Hi,

I have a list of 12 items, but at the start I only want to see the last 6 items on the chart (stacked column chart). I want to be able to scroll / drag to reveal the first part of the list. I use the index of the list for the x-axis, so the list has indexes with range from [0, 11]

I’m having some weird behaviour implementing this.
When the data is loaded, i see the complete bars:

but when I start to scroll, i’m never able to reveal the complete bars anymore:
![Screenshot 2020-09-18 at 11.04.40.png][2]
![Screenshot 2020-09-18 at 11.04.59.png][3]

When i start scrolling to the end (although the chart is already at the end), the UI jumps and only shows half a bar. Also when i scroll to the beginning, it only shows half a bar.

How can I make sure I always see the complete bars?

This is the code, specific to the x axis & the scrolling:

val xAxis = sciChartBuilder.newNumericAxis()
            .withDrawMajorBands(false)
            .withDrawMajorGridLines(false)
            .withDrawMinorGridLines(false)
            .withDrawMinorTicks(false)
            .withMajorDelta(1.0)
            .withMinorDelta(0.2)
            .withAutoTicks(false)
            .withVisibleRange(5.5, 11.5)
            .build()

using half values for the range seems to be the only way I can see the full bars. Once I start scrolling I only see half bars at the start & end

val surfaceChartModifiers: ChartModifierCollection = chart.chartModifiers
val dragModifier = XAxisDragModifier()
dragModifier.dragMode = AxisDragModifierBase.AxisDragMode.Pan
surfaceChartModifiers.add(dragModifier)

val zoomPanModifier = ZoomPanModifier()
zoomPanModifier.clipModeX = ClipMode.ClipAtExtents
zoomPanModifier.direction = Direction2D.XDirection
zoomPanModifier.zoomExtentsY = false
surfaceChartModifiers.add(zoomPanModifier)

On VS2017, in LineChartFragment.cs, I am trying to use VerticalSliceModifier, but it is not found.

var verticalSliceModifier = new VerticalSliceModifier();

Thank for your help.

Hi,

I see there is spline interpolation for WPF https://www.scichart.com/documentation/v5.x/Spline%20Interpolation%20Filters.html is there a timeline for introducing this in the Android platform?

In financial markets, there is a type of chart that is as follows.

I did not find this type of chart in SciChart.

Please help me how to draw this chart

I see there is a Polar chart type for WPF charts and that one is “coming soon” to Android. Is it known when we can expect it to be available on Android?

Thank you in advance.

do you have offline version of android charts.
my computer is not connected to the internet.
thanks

On Android, the docs say that AnnotationSurfaceEnum should have the “BelowChart” enum case, but it is actually missing in the code. It is there on iOS but not on Android.

I need this particular enum case, because otherwise the annotation boxes are hiding the data series and the grid lines.

What should I do?

Hello,

I am currently working on an DateTimeAxis where I am trying to display the labels in two hours intervals. So far it is working well but I have noticed when working with different timezones , if the timezone is odd, the labels display only odd numbers. When the timezone is even however the labels are even as well (eg. get-4 displays labels such as 2pm 4pm 6pm 8pm while gmt-7 displays 1pm 3pm 5pm 7pm)
I have played around with hours and dates to try to dynamically adjust the min and max visible ranges depending on if the current time is even or odd but that doesn’t affect at all the labels even after providing the major deltas and range.

does anyone know how to fix this issue? I want even labels regardless of the situation.

Good morning,

I would like to ask you about the solution contained in the title. Is it possible to create realtime charts (for example 7-10) in a list (RecyclerView)? I have studied your example but there were none with a list.

The fragment in the example called createMultiPaneStockChartsFragment contains 4 charts. But unfortunately, it is not a list.
I made a simple activity with 5 charts in a RecyclerView, but charts are stucking a bit.
I do not call notify methods. There is only update LineData method:

oneChartClass.getLineData().append(oneChartClass.getLineData().getCount(), trendPoint.getValue());

Thanking you in advance…

I have a screen with multiple chart surfaces stacked on top of each other within a ScrollView. I can’t use a single chart surface because each of the charts is combined with other types of views to display extra information about the data in the charts.

I have a few issues I’m trying to solve:

1. Each of the charts uses the same x-axis range. When a user pinches to zoom or drags to pan on a chart, I want all the charts to be synchronized to zoom and pan at the same time. How can I do this?

2. Because the charts are embedded in a ScrollView, when I use the following modifiers it is very difficult to smoothly zoom and pan without the ScrollView being activated to scroll up and down. How can I make it so that the ScrollView is deactivated from moving while the user is attempting to zoom or pan a chart

surface.chartModifiers.add(
XAxisDragModifier().apply {
dragMode = AxisDragModifierBase.AxisDragMode.Pan
minTouchArea = 1000.0f
}
)
surface.chartModifiers.add(
PinchZoomModifier().apply {
direction = Direction2D.XDirection
}
)

our app is about Futures. we will buy license for IOS and Android.

we found some question.

so we need show very small values, like Euro exchange’s values will be from 1.1981 to 1.2008.
its Tick Size is 0.0001 .

but we use LogarithmicNumericAxis with OhlcDataSeries<Date, Double> , surface still linear scale.

other question.
how to custom LogarithmicNumericAxis’s “TextFormatting” like “$0.0000”

I am trying to make a custom Label Provider by extending NumericLabelProvider as it is described here:
https://www.scichart.com/documentation/android/current/webframe.html#Axis%20Labels%20-%20LabelProvider%20API.html

private class PercentLabelProvider : NumericLabelProvider
{
    public override string FormatLabel(Java.Lang.IComparable dataValue)
    {
        return string.Format("{0:P0}", dataValue);
    }
}

However, this is not possible, because FormatLabel can not be overridden.
This is the error message:
“cannot override inherited member ‘FormatterLabelProviderBase.FormatLabel(IComparable)’ because it is not marked virtual, abstract, or override”

DateLabelProvider has the same problem.

I need need to use both.

Is there a solution for this issue?

Hi,

I’m trying to wrap the Scichart surface in XF. I’ve used native views as recommended in documentation and there is no problem when the SciChartSurface is the only element in a ContentPage, but when the surface is placed inside a layout or merged with any other element, then is not rendering.

Do you know why is this happening and how can I merge XF controls and SciChartSurface(s) in a ContentPage or any Layout?

1: This is rendering without problem

    <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SciChartForms"
             xmlns:localAndroid="clr-namespace:SciChartForms.Droid"
             x:Class="SciChartForms.MainPage">
    <localAndroid:Stripchart />
</ContentPage>

2: This is not rendering:

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SciChartForms"
             xmlns:localAndroid="clr-namespace:SciChartForms.Droid"
             x:Class="SciChartForms.MainPage">
    <StackLayout Margin="20">
        <Button Text="adafsd"/>
        <localAndroid:Stripchart/>
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

Thanks in advance!

PS: I’ve also tried with custom renderer obtaining the same result.

I see that this can be done on WPF (using ShowLicensingWarnings), but couldn’t find the property on Android. How can the licensing warning be hidden on Android?

Hello

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a simple clean looking chart like described in the attached image. I am looking for a “SuccessRateChart” that has some similarity to the PieChart but does not use the whole circle to describe its content. I would also need a way to adjust the visible radius of the Pie. In means of information visualization you often hear the term “doughnut chart”…

On way could be to draw some circle stacked over the chart itself, but there should be a better solution.

Would love to hear from you,

Kind regards,
Stephan

We are working on line charts in Xamarin forms. We have a requirement to zoom in only one direction at one time. Once the user is done with zooming in one direction (say horizontal) and he reaches that place through scrolling, he should be able to zoom in another direction(vertical). Can you please assist this for the same

Hi,
=>Scenario
i am using one LineSeries, two ScatterSeries and one ErrorBarsSeries in my Graph.

=> ISSUE
I want to disable whole Rollover Modifier or labels of Rollover Modifier for only ErrorBarsSeries , How can I do that?

Hello, for my bottom graph on my screenshot below, is it possible to dynamically change the black background to red? Indeed, when the microphone saturates like on the screenshot below I want to change the black background to red for 2 seconds, so I need to do it programmatically.

https://i.ibb.co/7XCLDwf/sature.png

I init my bottom graph like this :

 @Override
    public void initGraph(Context context) {
        Log.d(TAG, "initGraphs");
        SciChartSurface audioStreamSciChart = new SciChartSurface(context);
        mAudiostream.addView(audioStreamSciChart);
        xAxis = new NumericAxis(context);
        xAxis.setVisibleRange(new DoubleRange(startAudioStreamRange, endAudioStreamRange));
        xAxis.setDrawLabels(false);
        xAxis.setDrawMinorTicks(false);
        xAxis.setDrawMajorBands(false);
        xAxis.setDrawMinorGridLines(false);
        audioStreamSciChart.getXAxes().add(xAxis);

        NumericAxis yAxis = new NumericAxis(context);
        yAxis.setVisibleRange(new DoubleRange(-1.0, 1.0));
        yAxis.setDrawLabels(true);
        yAxis.setDrawMinorTicks(false);
        yAxis.setDrawMajorBands(false);
        yAxis.setDrawMinorGridLines(false);
        yAxis.setAxisAlignment(AxisAlignment.Left);

        audioStreamSciChart.getYAxes().add(yAxis);

        float lineThickness = SciChartExtensionsKt.dip(context, 1.0F);

        FastLineRenderableSeries f = new FastLineRenderableSeries();
        f.setDataSeries(scichartTools.getAudioDS());
        f.setStrokeStyle(new SolidPenStyle(ColorUtil.Grey, true, lineThickness, null));
        audioStreamSciChart.getRenderableSeries().add(f);
        scichartLayout = mAudiostream.getChildAt(0);
    }

I can keep a reference of my FastLineRenderableSeries to do it but i didn’t find any method to change his backgroud color.
Can i ?

Thanks,
Wavely

I want to display auto format date on xAxis (DateAxis) while zooming but I cannot find SubDayTextFormatting function.Is there any way to display minutes and seconds after init months ?there is no DateTime Axis on Android like on iOS ..Should I change to CategoryDate Axis?

Thanks in advance

How to position the legend in the botton of chart and make 2 column foreach tag?

Hi, i am developping a spectogram, screenshot : https://i.ibb.co/7CPTZbg/screenshot-framed.png

I get the same result from your showcase, now there is some things i want to change but can’t resolve to know how to :
– How can i change data direction to spread from left to right ? (currently right to left)
– How can i clear FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries ? Method clear doesn’t work
– How can we set width of FastUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries’s layout to be fixed to a specific seconds number ? (example : there is 10 seconds of data between left and right)

Thank you,
Wavely

Referring to the stacked column side by side example in the android examples collection, if someone clicks on a column/series in that chart, how could i identify which the of columns has been selected (usa, china, india, etc).

Hi,

I am trying to add text annotation on the chart but it doesn’t show. I’m wondering what went wrong with my code.

TextAnnotation textAnnotation = sciChartBuilder.newTextAnnotation()
                .withText("hello")
                .withX1(450)
                .withY1(1)
                .withFontStyle(20, Color.WHITE)
                .build();
        ecgSurface.getAnnotations().add(textAnnotation);

Hello!
There is interesting situation when I’m trying to show volumes on charts in my application. On the first screen you can see that on the left side of the image there is height values of volumes (the data is between 2.000.000 and 5.000.000), on the other side are low (they are between 0 and 100.000 in true values and hardcoded in my sample). It looks like correct because of low vaues, but when i’m scrolling screen to the later data (seconds screenshot), it “jumps” and displays with full-size (on image I’m hardcoded values for 3.000.000, so that’s why they are equals).
When data is hardcoded for 3.000.000 I think it should be closer to the preveous “true” values which are on the left side, but they are not.
It looks like the bottom side of the candles extruding them.
What is the reason of this behaviour? How can I correctly display this data?

Thank you!

Hi,

I was using android sdk 2.5 and i’m not getting any runtime errors and error logs. But after updating the project to sdk 3.0 i started getting errors (no code has been changed). During the runtime, chart’s xAxis shows wrong times and started writing 1970 under every vertical grid line. Also debug log says: “SciChartSurface has no XAxes. Please ensure SciChartSurface.XAxis is set, or SciChartSurface.XAxes has at least one axis”.

I’m just upgrade sdk 2.5 to 3.0, how can i fix errors?

Tnx.

I have a few problems that I’m trying to address with y-axis labelling.

1. I am including a y-axis on the left side of my graph but want the text of the labels to be right-aligned. Each label uses two lines of text. How can I do that?
2. I want the margin of the text to be a specific width so that I can line up the y-axis of multiple scichart surfaces that are stacked vertically. How can I set each of my scichart surfaces to use a particular margin for the y-axis labelling?
3. The y-axis label text will wrap when I don’t want it to (see attached image — The text of the label should be “1m \n Left” and I am currently seeing “1m \n Lef \n t”). How do I turn off the wrapping of text on the y-axis?

———-

This is how I am currently implementing the y-axis:

NumericAxis(context).apply {
    drawLabels = true
    axisAlignment = AxisAlignment.Left
    this.labelProvider = labelProvider
    this.tickProvider = tickProvider
    drawMajorBands = false
    drawMajorTicks = false
    drawMinorTicks = false
    drawMajorGridLines = false
    drawMinorGridLines = false
    isLabelCullingEnabled = false
    visibleRange = DoubleRange(
            dataRange.first,
            dataRange.second
    )
    autoRange = AutoRange.Never
    tickLabelStyle = FontStyle(
            TypefaceManager.obtainTypeface(context, CustomTypeface.PROXIMA_NOVA_REG),
            context.resources.getDimension(R.dimen.results_screen_graph_labels_text_size),
            Color.LTGRAY
    )
}

I hope you can help me I have managed to change the font color, size, but I do not know how to put the annotation with underlined font, who could give me a clue please. I would like to get something like what is shown in the image I attached. Thanks in advance.
