MPAndroidChart VS Retrofit

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there are many mediocre libraries and the rather promising ones (i.e. https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart) are no longer maintained.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

from this point on, I will assume, you have a basic understanding of Retrofit. To get the most out of this tutorial I would actually suggest you have a retrofit client already implemented in your application.

Now you might think that in order to make the request we are going to use Retrofit but in reality we are going to be sending out an implicit intent like so:

This particular blog post will be us building on the information from the previous blog post and using the authorization code from the GitHub OAuth API in combination with Retrofit. To finally get a access token, which allows us to make requests to the API on a behalf of a user.

Hey HN!

If you're a fan of Swift you may have noticed that with WWDC 2023 came the (beta) release of macros. They're super powerful and expressive!

I've been wishing Swift had a [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) style API definition library for years, and with macros it seemed like this was now possible.

I'd like to show you all Papyrus, a library that turns your APIs into type-safe Swift protocols.

Would love to get your feedback.

When it comes to consuming APIs I can definitely recommend Retrofit. Hopefully that's enough to get you started on where to look!

For Android you should use a more mobile friendly framework like Retrofit or if you use Kotlin you can use the multi-platform Ktor library with it's client module

for example https://square.github.io/retrofit/ have mentioned it in at the bottom. Similarly there maybe other rules for other dependencies. Usually I search the missing classes error in google and find some proguard rule for it.

Retrofit in combination with OkHttp for fetching data from server (which hopefully already exists)

The first get request is to retrieve a list of objects and the second one is to get a single one. You can read more about RetroFit here.

So I've been playing around with search.maven.org and perhaps I'm not quite understanding it. For example, if I look for Retrofit I'm not seeing anything that resembles retrofit above https://central.sonatype.dev/search?q=Retrofit.
