MPAndroidChart VS koin

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there are many mediocre libraries and the rather promising ones (i.e. https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart) are no longer maintained.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)

MPAndroidChart for charts and graphs

Let's see how we can use Koin to achieve Dependency Injection (DI) and incorporate a third-party iOS Swift SDK in a KMM project. Koin supports KMM development, making it the ideal choice for KMM projects.

Might want to tell koin that : https://insert-koin.io/

New modules allow you to easily build KVision apps with the Ballast opinionated application state management framework. You can see how Ballast (together with Koin) can help you design your application architecture in the new todomvc-ballast example.

I started looking into using Kotlin/JS, and hopefully reusing a bit of code that I have, which is using Dagger and Anvil - which of course are JVM only. So I've been looking for other solutions, namely Koin and Kodein. Koin's multibinding support is... not really amazing (e.g. here, and while Kodein does support multibinding, it doesn't seem to support things like that at the declaration site - everything needs to be specified in a "DI container" (module).

Koin

It's a Koin issue, not compose. Discussed here https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/issues/1079

Now I will finish up saying Hilt is just an opinionated way to dependency injection on Android, but there are simpler frameworks out there such as Koin or Kodein that can help take away a lot of the troubles that can come when you try to make your own framework. Just know that most other frameworks tend to be runtime injection instead of compile time injection like Hilt, which can be helpful to know at compile time if you are missing a dependency in your graph as opposed to runtime when its out in the wild.

I've been using Angular a lot and I like how it works. I'm also a huge fan of koin for kotlin.

for injection, I suggest Koin (https://insert-koin.io/)
