Labels for PieChart

[Shahir]

I have started working with the pie charts and I'm happy with the way they look. However, I have been having trouble figuring out how to add labels to a pie chart. I found a class "PieSeriesLabelRenderer" which seems like the answer to my problem, but there are no examples or tutorials on how to use it.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Shahir,

Thank you for your interest in RadChartView for Android.

Here's an article that explains how to use the labels in RadChartView. First of all, in order to display them, you need:

pieSeries.setShowLabels(true);

Then you can customize the appearance as shown in the Customization section of the article. In addition to the listed methods which are applicable for all types of series, with PieSeries, you can use setLabelOffset(double), which allows you to define the distance between the label and the border line of the pie. PieSeriesLabelRenderer is the renderer that we use by default while drawing labels for the chart, but if it doesn't suit you, you can provide your own LabelRenderer implementation as shown in the example.

I hope this information helps. Let us know if you have further questions.
