I would like to build an Android app showing a dashboard with many different graphical indicators. Have you already used a library containing these items?
Can anyone help me in this?
Thanks in advance and greetings

One approach you could take is to create your gauges and dashboard using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript which would be stored locally in your application’s
assetsfolder. You can then use aWebViewto display them.WebView.addJavaScriptInterface[(link)][1] will allow you to pass data between your Android Java code and the JavaScript dashboard.The reason I suggest this is that I think you will find more options for the graphical indicators if you look for JavaScript/HTML/CSS based ones. Here are a couple examples:
If this is done well, the user would not be able to tell that your UI is not made with native widgets. If you decide to go down this path, you may also want to consider using a framework like PhoneGap to help with the Java <-> JavaScript communications.
