Version 3.1.0

About

This mostly includes bug fixes, but with a few notable differences. The biggest change is bumping MPAndroidChart's minSdkVersion to 14. If you have a lower version, you should stop supporting it and go up to 14 as well.

Please see the current distribution usages, as less than 1% of Android devices are running versions 15 and lower now.

Breaking Changes

• minSdkVersion has been bumped to 14, read the above.
• Easing class has been simplified, old methods of getting easing functions are DEPRECATED (35c9fc9)
• Chart.saveToGallery(name, quality) now saves as a PNG instead of JPG (d67ea48)

Additions

• Upgraded project to androidX, maven upgraded to 2.1, gradle upgraded to 4.6, android gradle to 3.2.1, android build tools to 28.0.3
• Example project has been refreshed (d67ea48, 5030b36)
• Grid lines can be drawn behind or infront of data (c97b8d5)
• Can use pie slice color for value line color (1e6e58d)
• BarChart supports gradient colored bars (e4ba3cd)

Fixes

• Zoom animations fixed (6c54f0b)
• Many rendering bugs fixed (43ae497, aee6058, 92c14db, 8943622)
• Copying data sets fixed (7abc9cd)

Version 3.1.0 pre-release

Pre-Release Disclaimer

This is a pre-release, which means it's not fully tested. However, many bugs have still been fixed and I highly recommend that you update anyway to get those latest changes. Please open an issue if you are still running into issues with this release so they can be patched up for the final 3.1 release!

Bugfixing & Stability Improvements

This release includes bugfixes and minor changes that came up over the past weeks.

Stability Improvements

This release improves stability and fixes bugs.

New major release

This is a major release, with a few breaking changes. So please pay attention.

Updates:

• The Integer x-index is dead. Intoducing: x-values (float). Each entry now has an x and a y.
• Pie/radar charts do not have a concept of X index anymore
• Unified XAxis/YAxis features and experience.
• Unified formatter interfaces for axes.
• Major refactoring of the Highlight mechanism.
• Refactored marker mechanism
• Refactored legend entry mechanism
• Each dataset can now set its own legend form/size/etc.
• More demos
• Many minor bug fixes and improvements

Breaking changes / how to migrate:

• All dataset constructors have changed - they do not take an array of x-indices anymore.
• All entry constructors have changed - they take in an X and a Y.
• Pie and Radar chart entries now have their own classes. So exchange the Entry classes withPieEntry/RadarEntry
• If you have any old startAtZeroEnabled calls - these have been deprecated for a long time. Replace them with axisMinimum.
• In general, all functions that accepted x-indices before, now accept an x-value, so you might have to adjust the names a little bit.
• Where OnChartValueSelectedListener is implemented, update the onValueSelected interface
• Replace drawSliceTextEnabled with drawEntryLabelsEnabled
• If you have a custom scatter shape - implement an IShapeRenderer, and put your rendering code in there
• If you have a custom marker - consider subclassing MarkerView/MarkerImage or implementing IMarker. There are more options than before now...
• If you have used barSpace before, move to using barWidth

Performance and GC related fixes

#1947

New MPAndroidChart v3.0b

• Elimination of the "x-index" concept (each Entry now has a float x- and y-coordinate)
• Change of the Entry constructor from Entry(float y, int xIndex) to Entry(float x, float y)
• XAxis and YAxis concept is now similar (XAxis no longer represented by Strings)
• Separation of the Realm.io support to a separate repository
• Bugfixes and stability improvement
• Many more...

Currently, the documentation is not up to date and still refers to versions prior to 3.0 - please have a look a the example project to figure out how the new API works. An update of the docs will follow soon.

Please also note that this is a "beta" release that might contain bugs that require fixing. A stable release 3.0 will be out within the next few weeks. If you are certain that you discovered a new issue with this new version, please let me know.
