Plotting Graph from Json Data using GraphView Library android

Question

Hi I have written a json parser to pull some data in an array like this

"records": [ [ "2015-01-11 04:50", 1.5 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:00", 1.6 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:10", 1.7 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:20", 1.6 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:30", 1.5 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:40", 1.7 ], [ "2015-01-11 05:50", 1.8 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:00", 1.8 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:10", 1.9 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:20", 1.8 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:30", 1.6 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:40", 1.4 ], [ "2015-01-11 06:50", 1.6 ], [ "2015-01-11 07:00", 1.4 ], [ "2015-01-11 07:10", 1.4 ], ]

But now I can't get to apply the Graph view library to plot the x,y and show the data as line graph in the app. Kindly advice what I am missing in my code below. Help me save a lot of time because I tried the GraphViewSeries exampleSeries data, It works but i don't want to hard code the gragh data. As its supplied from a REST web service, so just want to plot the data from using the Json parser.

Here is my code;

public class GraphFragment extends Fragment implements OnClickListener {
Context context;
String label_y [];
ArrayList<DataAssetGraph> alAssetGraph = new ArrayList<DataAssetGraph>();
TextView tvNoItemsG;
LinearLayout llGraphView;
Button btnOneDayG, btnOneWeekG, btnOneMonthG;
String startDate;
String assetId;
ProgressDialog dialog;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = null;
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_chart, null);
    initView(view);
    tvNoItemsG.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    /*if (getArguments() != null) {

        alAssetGraph = (ArrayList<DataAssetGraph>) getArguments()
                .getSerializable(WebElement.RECORDS);
        if (alAssetGraph != null && alAssetGraph.size() > 0) {
            label_y = getHorizontalLabels(alAssetGraph);
            initGraphView();
        } else {
            llGraphView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            tvNoItemsG.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        }
    }*/
    return view;

    btnOneMonthG = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btnOneMonthG);
    btnOneDayG.setSelected(true);
    btnOneDayG.setOnClickListener(this);

    llGraphView.addView(graphView);

Answer 1

try something like this

GraphView.GraphViewData[] recordGraphData=new GraphView.GraphViewData[records.size()];
for(int i=0; i<records.size();i++)
{
recordGraphData[i]=new GraphView.GraphViewData(i,records.get(i).get(1));
}

graphView.addSeries(new GraphViewSeries(recordsGraphData));
