IllegalArgumentException: radius must be > 0

Question

I'm designing a bar graph and a pie chart in a view pager using AChartEngine library. When I scroll from bar graph to pie chart, application crashes. The crash report is as following.

 FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Any help to solve this will be appreciable.

straight forward right passing a radius which is less than zero — Triode, Feb 06 '14 at 14:41
Anyway, it seems that you're either setting (or possibly NOT SETTING at all) 0 as the radius for the PieChart or for the RadialGradient — Phantômaxx, Feb 06 '14 at 14:43

If you are having this issue on Android L (5.0), I have noticed that GradientDrawable does not accept the "%" suffix. So instead, I have used the "%p" suffix, and it works. Also, I needed to change my absurdly high value (80000%) with a normal value (80%p), and now it looks proper.

So, I have created a "drawable-v21" folder (from which Android L will take its drawables), copied my shape xml which contains the gradient and changed this line:

android:gradientRadius="80000%"

with this

android:gradientRadius="80%p"

NOTE: %p stands for "relative to parent container". In document: `The % suffix always means a percentage of the base size; the optional %p suffix provides a size relative to some parent container.` https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/GradientDrawable.html#attr_android:gradientRadius – ypresto Aug 10 '16 at 03:57
replace "80%" to "80p%" works for me in android 5.0.2 – Spark.Bao Feb 21 '17 at 03:38

Thanks. 2019 and this still works. This is about the weirdest quirk of the Android SDK I experienced so far. – Ivan Bartsov Nov 22 '19 at 08:25

In my case i added android:gradientRadius="30dp".

That dp at the end was trowing the same exception on some devices.

Leave it android:gradientRadius="30" or use the @radu122 's answer

try to increase it, the 30 number is in pixels, if you want to transform it in dp you can define a size with 30dp and link it: android:gradientRadius="@dimen/my_gradient_radius" – 4bottiglie Aug 23 '17 at 15:26

For me problem was in cardview's app:cardCornerRadius="0dp"

I changed it to :

app:cardCornerRadius="1dp"
