MPAndroidChart VS compose-samples

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?

GitHub: https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart

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)

MPAndroidChart for charts and graphs

Comments are added to better understand the logic. Don't forget to visit the github page of this library MPAndroidChart

And since this is a library specific problem, asking in a Github issue is the right approach: https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/issues/5230. It would have been nice to link it directly.

There is no easy way of implementing this. You'll have to use a library like MPAndroidChart

Creating custom views like a chart is not what you sholud start learning with. To be honest, most of the time we're using libraries that provide ui things. We just custiomize things and rarely write everything from scratch. You should focus on other things like design patterns, core libraries, async code, ui components, design patterns and Android API in general. Look at this library https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart , it should be pretty good.

Jetpack Compose is a library that allows you to create UI in a declarative style in Kotlin, as opposed to using views and XML.

Your hard-won knowledge is sadly obsolete my friend: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose

This case is used in [Tivi](https://github.com/chrisbanes/tivi) and it is also a sample in android [compose-samples](https://github.com/android/compose-samples)

So I started to do some research by reading projects (source skydoves, Jose Alcérreca, Android Official Repo), and I found some really cool approaches to certain things.

Compose - declarative UI framework

I agree with almost everything you said except compose being at beta stage is a bit unfair. But lack of documentation is a little bit frustrating or some simple things like TopAppbar overflow or drawing text to canvas are not available at the moment but there are many apps using Compose in production some can be seen here.

There's an exciting desktop port of https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose done by Jetbrains: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb

Not to be confused with Jetpack Compose, the modern toolkit for building Android apps, JetBrains’ Compose Multiplatform is based on the same technology but allows you to build for Windows/MacOS, Linux and the web.
