I'm trying to familiarize myself with android XYPlot, using android studio 3.5. I have tested several examples first, and I'm ending up with the same error - Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class com.androidplot.xy.XYPlot Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class com.androidplot.xy.XYPlot and then app crashes.

I would really appreciate any suggestion to get rid of this issue. Thank you!

What I did: Below shows logcat output of such one of the examples (this) I tried. I updated the Gradle with XYPlot library and also as I noticed when searching I wanted to update ProGuard too. Updated ProGuard is also mentioned at the end.

main_activity.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

    <com.androidplot.xy.XYPlot
        android:id="@+id/mySimpleXYPlot"
        androidplot.gridPadding="4dp|4dp|4dp|4dp"
        androidplot.ticksPerDomainLabel="2"
        androidplot.ticksPerRangeLabel="4"
        andsroidplot.title="A Simple XYPlot Example"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="527dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10px"
        android:layout_marginTop="10px"
        android:layout_marginRight="10px" />
</LinearLayout>

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private XYPlot plot;

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // initialize our XYPlot reference:
        plot = (XYPlot) findViewById(R.id.mySimpleXYPlot);

        // add a new series
        XYSeries mySeries = new SimpleXYSeries(
                Arrays.asList(0, 25, 55, 2, 80, 30, 99, 0, 44, 6),
                SimpleXYSeries.ArrayFormat.Y_VALS_ONLY, "series1");
        plot.addSeries(mySeries, new LineAndPointFormatter(
                getApplicationContext(), R.xml.f1));

        /*commented

        // reposition the domain label to look a little cleaner:
        plot.position(plot.getDomainLabelWidget(), // the widget to position
                45,                                // x position value, in this case 45 pixels

         */

        plot.centerOnRangeOrigin(60);
        plot.centerOnDomainOrigin(5);
    }
}

remove these:

    androidplot.ticksPerDomainLabel="2" <--- this line is causing the problem
    androidplot.ticksPerRangeLabel="4"
    andsroidplot.title="A Simple XYPlot Example"

And it should work.

I've never seen dotted properties on XML attributes, it should either be underscore(_) or nothing at all

These are all the possible Attributes this view accepts.

None of the ones listed above are written there, they just don't exist.

Thank you very much, now it works... :) I just removed the mentioned 4 lines in my xml and then executed the app. Thanks a lot again for sharing the useful resource too.
0

the class references R.layout.activity_main while the XML is named main_activity.xml is this correct?

plus there are no andsroidplot.*** attributes, please use ap: instead example

ap:title="A Simple XY Plot"

and don't forget to add

xmlns:ap="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

to the root tag of your layout (android studio will do it for you with yellow/red pop-up)

and finally please refer to this page for more info regarding the dependency

https://github.com/halfhp/androidplot/blob/master/docs/quickstart.md

Good Luck
