MPAndroidChart How to represent multiple dataset object with different number of points in the same chart line

问题

I am using MPAndroidChart for charting. I am building a line chart which has multiple dataset objects.

From the examples provided by MPAndroidChart I can observe that multiple dataset objects can be drawn in the same line chart but with the same number of points (y-values) and those y-values referenced to the same x-values. What happens if I want to draw multiple dataset objects in the same line chart with different number of points (y-values) referenced to different x-values for each one? How can I get rid of this? I cannot be able to do it.

For example:

Dataset object 1 Y-values: 0, 12, 23, 34, 50, 100, 130
                 X-values: 0, 10, 15, 20, 25,  30,  35

Dataset object 2 Y-values: 1,  5, 10, 15, 20,  30,  40,  70, 75, 80
                 X-values: 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,   5,   6,   7,  8,  9

回答1:

The solution is simple.

Create an x-values array ranging from 0 to 36:

ArrayList<String> xvals = new ArrayList<String>();

for(int i = 0; i <= 35; i++) {
   xvals.add("Label"+i);
}

// create your entries...

// add the data...

In that way you can display entries with x-indices ranging from 0 to 35. Make sure you set the correct x-index for each entry you want to display.

回答2:

Instead of creating 0 to 36 {min - max}, create Union of Xvalues1 & Xvalues2 with it's respective Yvalues & Vice-Versa.

int[] Xvalues1 = { 0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 };
int[] Yvalues1 = { 5, 112, 23, 34, 50, 100, 130 };

int[] Xvalues2 = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 };
int[] Yvalues2 = { 1, 5, 20, 15, 10, 30, 40, 70, 75, 100 };

// X = X1 ⋃ X2 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35]
// Y1 ⋃ Y2 (w.r.t X) = [5, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 112, 23, 34, 50, 100, 130]

Plot X against Y1, Y2, Y3 ...,

As far as I know MPAndroidChart doesn't plot null values & safely skips to next value.

public void startMerging() throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException {

    List<Integer> x1 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    List<Integer> y1 = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    List<Integer> x2 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    List<Integer> y2 = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    List<XYMerger> mergedData = getMergedData(Xvalues1, Yvalues1, Xvalues2);

    for (XYMerger xy : mergedData) {
        x1.add(xy.getX());
        y1.add(xy.getY());
    }

    mergedData = getMergedData(Xvalues2, Yvalues2, Xvalues1);

    for (XYMerger xy : mergedData) {
        x2.add(xy.getX());
        y2.add(xy.getY());
    }

    mergedData.clear();

    System.out.println(x1); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35]
    System.out.println(y1); // [5, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 112, 23, 34, 50, 100, 130]

    System.out.println("\n");

    System.out.println(x2); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35] // X = X1 = X2
    System.out.println(y2); // [1, 5, 20, 15, 10, 30, 40, 70, 75, 100, null, null, null, null, null]
