I’m a noob to android development and I am trying to display a pie chart in a dialog. However, I cannot get the piechart to display. I used the XYChartBuilder.java as my guide as suggested by this SO question here. I used the achart demo xychart.xml to test my layout design and it worked perfectly with the demo. But when i try to use the same xml configuration with my application i get an nullpointerexception saying android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled. The only change i made was to instantiate the ChartView when the dialog is opened via layoutinflater as opposed to during onResume in the demo. When i change the chart linearlayout from a defined height of 200dp to “wrap_content” the exception isn’t thrown. I have included activity android:name=”org.achartengine.GraphicalActivity” /> in my manifest so that isn’t the problem. The issue has to be something with the dialog. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I encountered a similar issue before. trying to use the zoom for achartengine is impossible inside a dialog. try commenting out setzoomvisible and it should work for you.
