What is it?

MPAndroidChart is a chart library for Android that draws nine chart types, including line, bar, pie, radar, bubble and candlestick charts. Developers add charts to a layout or to a Jetpack Compose screen and feed them data through entry, data set and data objects, then customize axes, markers, colours and animations through properties and lambdas.

The library supports zooming, dragging, value highlighting and tooltips-style markers, and the 4.0 release is a Kotlin rewrite with a separate MPChartCompose module for Compose. Java callers can use it without writing Kotlin. Requirements are minSdk 23 and Java 17, and the project provides guides, generated API docs for each release, and an example app in the repository.
