Legends get cut off with pie chart in MPAndroidChart?


I am using MPAndroid chart library to show pie chart in my app The legends / chart description labels are not wrapping below one another I used pieChart.legend.isWordWrapEnabled=true but it doesn't work out

This is my xml

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".equity.EquityFragment">

<include
    android:id="@+id/pageTitleLayout"
    layout="@layout/page_title" />

<com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.PieChart
    android:id="@+id/pieChart"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/pageTitleLayout" />
<include
    android:id="@+id/loader"
    layout="@layout/view_progress_loader"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:visibility="gone" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

And this is code

private fun createChart(chartData:List<EquityPieChart>){
    val pieEntry= chartData.map { PieEntry(it.equity,it.name) }
    val rnd = Random()
    val colors = mutableListOf<Int>()
    for (i in chartData.indices){
        colors.add(Color.argb(255, rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256)))
    }
    val dataSet=PieDataSet(pieEntry,getString(R.string.equity_title))
    dataSet.colors=colors
    binding.pieChart.data = PieData(dataSet)
    binding.pieChart.isDrawHoleEnabled=false
    binding.pieChart.legend.isWordWrapEnabled=true
    binding.pieChart.invalidate()

}

this is the UI i get in device

Solution

  • I ended up doing like this with the help of flexboxlayout

    XML

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".equity.EquityFragment">
    
    <include
        android:id="@+id/pageTitleLayout"
        layout="@layout/page_title" />
    
    <com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.PieChart
        android:id="@+id/pieChart"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/chartLabels"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/pageTitleLayout" />
    
    <com.google.android.flexbox.FlexboxLayout
        android:id="@+id/chartLabels"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:flexWrap="wrap"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
    
    <include
        android:id="@+id/loader"
        layout="@layout/view_progress_loader"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:visibility="gone" />
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
    

    Legend layout

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_height="25dp"
    android:padding="2dp">
    
    <View
        android:id="@+id/legendBox"
        android:layout_width="10dp"
        android:layout_height="10dp"
        android:background="@color/primary_500"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/legendTitle"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/legendTitle"/>
    
    <com.google.android.material.textview.MaterialTextView
        android:id="@+id/legendTitle"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        tools:text="xxxxjdsfjsdfj"
        android:layout_marginStart="3dp"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/legendBox"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
      </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
    

    Kotlin code

     private fun createChart(chartData: List<EquityPieChart>) {
        val pieEntry = chartData.map { PieEntry(it.equity) }
        val rnd = Random()
        val colors = mutableListOf<Int>()
        for (i in chartData.indices) {
            colors.add(Color.argb(255, rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256)))
        }
        val dataSet = PieDataSet(pieEntry, getString(R.string.equity_title))
        dataSet.colors = colors
        dataSet.valueTextSize = 14f
        dataSet.setDrawValues(false)
        dataSet.valueTextColor = ContextCompat.getColor(requireContext(), android.R.color.white)
        binding.pieChart.data = PieData(dataSet)
        binding.pieChart.isDrawHoleEnabled = false
        binding.pieChart.description = Description().apply { text="" }
        binding.pieChart.invalidate()
        binding.pieChart.animateY(1400, Easing.EaseInOutQuad);
        binding.pieChart.legend.isEnabled = false
        creatChartLabels(colors,chartData)
    }
    
    private fun creatChartLabels(colors:List<Int>,chartData: List<EquityPieChart>){
        for (i in chartData.indices) {
            val view=ItemLegendBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
            view.legendBox.setBackgroundColor(colors[i])
            view.legendTitle.text=chartData[i].name
            binding.chartLabels.addView(view.root)
        }
    }
    

    output
