Question

I am following this android droid charts tutorial …

http://w2davids.wordpress.com/creating-charts-with-droidcharts-for-android/

At one point he does this

setContentView(new
XYLineChart(getApplicationContext()));

I want to specify an xml layout and then add this view to it … How can I do that ? …

Answer 1

Create an xml file ‘linearlayoutgraph’.

Then use the following code to call setContentView using this layout, while also adding other Views/Graph to it:

public class Graph extends Activity{

    LinearLayout linearlayout;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            linearlayout = (LinearLayout) View.inflate(this, R.layout.linearlayoutgraph, null);
            ContentValues datasetDescription = new ContentValues();
            //add your graph
            xyLineChart mView = new xyLineChart(this, datasetDescription, createDataset());
            linearlayout.addView(mView);
            setContentView(linearlayout);
    }

//create data
private XYDataset createDataset()
{
}
