MPAndroidChart VS RxJava

I have used https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart for a few big projects and has always had enough support for our customization needs.

I am planning to use a charting/graphing library in my App, however I have noticed that the options are pretty limited. In particular it seem like that there are many mediocre libraries and the rather promising ones (i.e. https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart) are no longer maintained. In other words I couldn't find a framework that is both good and actively maintained.

MPAndroidChart

I'm currently making a personal project which involves using a chart. I was just wondering if there are any recent up to date libraries to use. I know of MPAndroidChart, but the Github hasn't been updated in a long time. I also recently saw Vico and was considering using that as well. Are there any other alternatives that would be a better option?

I want to create a simple line chart using the MPAndroidChart library with the following values:

I think MPAndroidChart is a good option. It has a large documentation which can probably help you out. I personally have never used it before but I heard from my colleague that it's a good option.

It is not limited to the tutorial. When I want to look up things on github without cloning the repo, it is basically the same: https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/blob/master/MPChartExample/src/main/java/com/xxmassdeveloper/mpchartexample/LineChartActivity1.java (yes, that is not the best example with only few long lines)

3. RxJava This repository contains the source code for ReactiveX, a library used to create asynchronous and event-based programs with observable sequences. https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava

Is this similar RxJava, the reactive extensions library for https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava ? I have made that work in Clojure in production.

Since you mentioned java, there is RxJava and RxAndroid. Google general recommendation now is to use kotlin coroutines if you're considering writing your app with that.

It's very quick though. In terms of the correctness of the syntax, I've never seen an issue while translating a single file or a single function. When I took the entire RxJava code base 5 years ago, right clicked on the source folder and converted to Kotlin, I found lots of problems. File by file I've never seen any issues though, but I also haven't done it much.

You all beat me to MapStruct and Testcontainers. Honorable mention to RxJava, which I use in Desktop apps.

Concurrency: Kotlin coroutines for general use, Rx or Flow for reactive programming (you can technically use Rx for regular concurrency as well, but not really what it's meant for)

If you're just looking at making a service call on a regular interval and notifying the user when there's an actual change in data, you can also look into RxJava https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava. From here you can "subscribe" to your service call, and then every time you make your service call you can have it look for changes compared to the previous emission .distinctUntilChanged() and then only notify it's subscribers when it notices an actual change. From there you can trigger a local notification and push to a LiveData (assuming MVVM) or otherwise update the UI to match as well.
