Bar Chart in Android using aChartEngine

Today we will covered about Bar Chart in android using aChartEngine. To make the bar graph in android, first you have to download the achartengine.jar from code.google.com/p/achartengine/downloads/list. After successfully downloaded the jar file, put that jar file in your libs folder of your android structure. Now take the following step
Step 1:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.graphdemo"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.graphdemo.GraphActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
<!—Add this activity in your AndroidManifest file -->
        <activity android:name="org.achartengine.GraphicalActivity"/>
    </application>
</manifest>
Step 2:- activity_graph.xml in res folder
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
      android:id="@+id/BarGraph"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="BarGraph" />
</LinearLayout>
Step 3:- GraphActivity.java
package com.arpit.graphdemo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class GraphActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
    Button  barGraph;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_graph);
        barGraph = (Button) findViewById(R.id.BarGraph);
        barGraph.setOnClickListener(this);
       
       
    }
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
       
        switch(v.getId()){
           
              case R.id.BarGraph:
                  BarGraph bar = new BarGraph();
                  Intent barIntent = bar.getIntent(this);
                  startActivity(barIntent);
                  break;
        }
       
    }
}
Step 4: Create a class BarGraph.java
This will be the  class where the graph is actually created by using methods of achartengine library.
package com.arpit.graphdemo;
import org.achartengine.ChartFactory;
import org.achartengine.chart.BarChart.Type;
import org.achartengine.model.CategorySeries;
import org.achartengine.model.XYMultipleSeriesDataset;
import org.achartengine.renderer.XYMultipleSeriesRenderer;
import org.achartengine.renderer.XYSeriesRenderer;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
public class BarGraph {
   
    public Intent getIntent(Context context){
       
        int y[] = {25,10,15,20};
       
        CategorySeries series = new CategorySeries("Bar1");
        for(int i=0; i < y.length; i++){
            series.add("Bar"+(i+1),y[i]);
        }
       
        XYMultipleSeriesDataset dataSet = new XYMultipleSeriesDataset();  // collection of series under one object.,there could any
        dataSet.addSeries(series.toXYSeries());                            // number of series
       
        //customization of the chart
   
        XYSeriesRenderer renderer = new XYSeriesRenderer();     // one renderer for one series
        renderer.setColor(Color.RED);
        renderer.setDisplayChartValues(true);
        renderer.setChartValuesSpacing((float) 5.5d);
        renderer.setLineWidth((float) 10.5d);
           
       
        XYMultipleSeriesRenderer mRenderer = new XYMultipleSeriesRenderer();   // collection multiple values for one renderer or series
        mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer);
        mRenderer.setChartTitle("Demo Graph");
//        mRenderer.setXTitle("xValues");
        mRenderer.setYTitle("Rupee");
        mRenderer.setZoomButtonsVisible(true);    mRenderer.setShowLegend(true);
        mRenderer.setShowGridX(true);      // this will show the grid in  graph
        mRenderer.setShowGridY(true);             
//        mRenderer.setAntialiasing(true);
        mRenderer.setBarSpacing(.5);   // adding spacing between the line or stacks
        mRenderer.setApplyBackgroundColor(true);
        mRenderer.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
        mRenderer.setXAxisMin(0);
//        mRenderer.setYAxisMin(.5);
        mRenderer.setXAxisMax(5);
        mRenderer.setYAxisMax(50);
//   
        mRenderer.setXLabels(0);
        mRenderer.addXTextLabel(1,"Income");
        mRenderer.addXTextLabel(2,"Saving");
        mRenderer.addXTextLabel(3,"Expenditure");
        mRenderer.addXTextLabel(4,"NetIncome");
        mRenderer.setPanEnabled(true, true);    // will fix the chart position
     Intent intent = ChartFactory.getBarChartIntent(context, dataSet, mRenderer,Type.DEFAULT);
       
                return intent;
    }
}
