Multiple Image/Pie Chart Updating

Question

This should prove to be a very useful example for anyone reading this thread. I am trying to create an Async task which will take some existing place holding pictures in an ImageView and replace them with the exact same size, but different picture.

Specifically, I want to display some static pictures, then update them with live data from a remote server, but also scale them to whatever the current size is being displayed.

From the main activity, we would simply call it with the ImageView's we want to update:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    drawPieCharts((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart1),(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart2),(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart3));
}

Next we need to contact the server, grab a JSON object with our charts, and update the images. I'm afraid I just don't know enough about Java and Android to string it all together. This is the current hot mess I have going on now:

public class drawPieCharts(ImageView... imageViews){

int[] COLORS={0xff00ff00,0xff00ee00,0xff00dd00,0xff00cc00,0xff000000};//alpha r g b
int[] slices={300,400,100,200,500};


@Override
    protected void onPreExecute(){
    //String charts="{\"charts\":[{\"chart\":1, \"colors\":[0,1,2,3,4], \"slices\":[300,400,100,200,500]},{\"chart\":2, \"colors\":[0,1,2,3,4], \"slices\":[200,100,400,200,500]},{\"chart\": 3, \"colors\":[0,1,2,3,4], \"slices\":[200,100,400,200,200]}]}";
   try{
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(charts);
        JSONArray jsonArray = obj.optJSONArray("charts");

        for(int i=0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++){
            JSONObject chartData = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            JSONObject chart = chartData.optJSONObject("chart");
            JSONArray colors = chartData.optJSONArray("colors");
            JSONArray slices = chartData.optJSONArray("slices");
            new DrawPieChart(chartViews[chart]);
        }
        }catch(JSONException e){e.printStackTrace();}

     String jsonReply = "";
        try {
            URL url = new URL(url_to_server);
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

            InputStream stream = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
            StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

            String inputString;
            while ((inputString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                builder.append(jsonReply);
            }

            JSONObject charts = new JSONObject(builder.toString());
            JSONObject chart = charts.getJSONObject("chart");

          urlConnection.disconnect();

        } catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

ImageView imageView = null;

    @Override
    protected doInBackground() {
        this.imageView = imageViews[0];
        return updateChart();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        for(
        imageView.setImageBitmap(result);
    }

private Bitmap updateChart() {
    Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(imageView.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight(),imageView.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);//w h config

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);
    RectF box = new RectF(2, 2,bmp.getWidth()-2 , bmp.getHeight()-2);

    //get value for 100%
    int sum = 0;
    for (int slice : slices) {
        sum += slice;
    }
    //initalize painter
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);

    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(1f);
    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
    float start = 0;
    //draw slices
    for(int i =0; i < slices.length; i++){
        paint.setColor(COLORS[i]);
        float angle;
        angle = ((360.0f / sum) * slices[i]);
        canvas.drawArc(box, start, angle, true, paint);
        start += angle;
    }
    return bmp;
}
}

Also including the layout here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity">

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
   >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/chart1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scaleType="centerInside"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/chart_place_holder"
    />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/chart2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scaleType="centerInside"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/chart_place_holder"
    />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/chart3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scaleType="centerInside"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/chart_place_holder"
    />

</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:text="data" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textSize="28sp"/>

</LinearLayout>

The charts are confirmed working. It will grab the current sizes of the place holders and create a pie chart to match, so that part of the code is fine. I just need a little help in getting the rest of this mess organized and it's just simply exceeding my skill set.

Answer 1

I was able to figure it out on my own. Here is the completed, tested code.

public class DrawPieCharts{
private final int[] COLORS = {0xff000000, 0xaa000000, 0xffff0000, 0xffff8800, 0xffffff00, 0xff00ff00, 0xff00dd00, 0xff00bb00, 0xff009900};//alpha r g b

ImageView[]chart_image=new ImageView[3];
TextView[]chart_text=new TextView[3];
String chart_data;
int[]chart_labels=new int[3];


public DrawPieCharts(ImageView[] chart_image, TextView[] chart_text, String chart_data){
    this.chart_image=chart_image;
    this.chart_text=chart_text;
    this.chart_data=chart_data;
     if(chart_data == null){return;}

    try{
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(chart_data);      // String charts="{\"charts\":[{\"chart_value\":10000, \"colors\":[4,5,6,7,0], \"slices\":[3000,3500,2500,1000,300]},{\"chart_value\":5000, \"colors\":[1,4,0], \"slices\":[4000,4500,300]},{\"chart_value\": 54.2, \"colors\":[4,0], \"slices\":[6000,4000]}]}";
        JSONArray jcharts = obj.getJSONArray("charts");

        for (int i = 0; i < jcharts.length(); i++){
            JSONObject chartData = jcharts.getJSONObject(i);
            chart_labels[i] = chartData.getInt("value");

            //convert to normal array
            JSONArray jcolors = chartData.getJSONArray("colors");
            int[] colors = new int[jcolors.length()];
            for (int c = 0; c < jcolors.length(); c++){
                colors[c] =COLORS[jcolors.getInt(c)];
            }

            //convert to normal array
            JSONArray jslices = chartData.getJSONArray("slices");
            int[] slices = new int[jslices.length()];
            for (int s = 0; s < jslices.length(); s++){
                slices[s] = jslices.getInt(s);
            }

            // Draw pie chart
            DrawPieChart(chart_image[i], chart_text[i], colors, slices, String.valueOf(chart_labels[i]));
        }
    } catch (JSONException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    };
}

private void DrawPieChart(ImageView ImageView,TextView TextView, int [] colors,int [] slices, String label){
    Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(ImageView.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight(),ImageView.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);//w h config
    float scale = bmp.getDensity();

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);
    int width=bmp.getWidth()-2;
    int height=bmp.getHeight()-2;
    int centerX=width/2;
    int centerY=height/2;
    RectF box = new RectF(2,2,width,height);

    //get value for 100%
    int sum = 0;
    for (int slice : slices){
        sum += slice;
    }
    //initalize painter
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);

    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(1f);
    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
    float start = -90;//start at top of pie
    //draw slices
    for(int i =0; i < slices.length; i++){
        paint.setColor(colors[i]);
        float angle;
        angle = ((360f / sum) * slices[i]);
        canvas.drawArc(box, start, angle, true, paint);

        paint.setColor(0xFF000000);
        start += angle;
    }

    start = -90;//start at top of pie

    //draw labels - Must be drawn on top of slices
    for(int i =0; i < slices.length-1; i++){
        float angle;
        angle = ((360f / sum) * slices[i]);

        paint.setColor(0xFF000000);
        paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
        paint.setTextSize((int) (scale/3));// text size in pixels
        //paint.setShadowLayer(1f, 0f, 1f, 0x66FFFFFF);// text shadow
        float radius = centerX/1.5f;//Center text inside pie slice fat end to pointed end - X
        int center = (int) (start+angle/2);//Center text inside pie slice fat end, top to bottom - Y
        int textX = (int)(radius * Math.cos(center * Math.PI / 180F)) + centerX;
        int textY = (int)(radius * Math.sin(center * Math.PI / 180F)) + centerY;
        start += angle;
        if(angle<30){continue;}//too small to print text on, so just skip it.
        canvas.drawText(String.valueOf(slices[i]), textX, textY, paint);

    }

    ImageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);
    TextView.setText(label);
}
}

And something to display it on:

Now it can be called from the main activity like this:

ImageView [] chart_image = new ImageView[3];
TextView [] chart_text = new TextView[3];
chart_image[0] = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart_1);
chart_image[1] = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart_2);
chart_image[2] = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.chart_3);

chart_text[0] = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.chart_value_1);
chart_text[1] = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.chart_value_2);
chart_text[2] = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.chart_value_3);

String chart_data= "\"charts\": [{ \"value\": \"Chart 1 Value\", \"colors\": [5, 6, 7, 8, 1], \"slices\": [938, 2927, 2271, 557, 5507] }, { \"value\": \"Chart 2 Value\", \"colors\": [4, 8, 1, 1], \"slices\": [5492, 41701, 1507] }, { \"value\": 9999, \"colors\": [8, 1], \"slices\": [7000, 3000] }] ";

new DrawPieCharts(chart_image, chart_text, chart_data);
