MPAndroidChart VS OkHttp

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there are many mediocre libraries and the rather promising ones (i.e. https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart) are no longer maintained.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

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)

We will use Square’s Mock Webserver to spin up a mock server which we can use to simulate real api's request to the get coffee endpoint.

I searched in the OkHttp GitHub project for an advice on which values may be suitable for Android apps nowadays but found no answers (only this old issue which does not help). Since we share a single OkHttp client Singleton for all our retrofit APIs and even Coil, I wonder if the default 5 maxRequestsPerHost is really enough.

You can technically add a Content-Length header for each part. It's not forbidden by the RFC, but nor is it common. It caused [problems](https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2138) for OkHttp, and they eventually removed it. Might be fine for internal-only use, though.

Boundaries are a lot like UUIDs, and rely on the same logic. When generating random data, once you have enough bits, the odds are against that sequence of bits ever having been generated before in the universe.

Lets be specific. This is the gradle build file for Squares okhttp client library. How exactly would your bld tool "predict" or "help" with all the parameters needed? There is no need to be defensive. Replace those large build files with your own, show where your approach is better and then understanding will lead to better solutions.

And adding to that: The asynchttpclient library is just a thin wrapper around OkHttp3, so it might be easier to just go with that instead: https://square.github.io/okhttp/
