How to hide legends and axis in MPAndroidChart?

Question

Is their any possibility to hide all rounded items from this picture.

enter image description here

I have used the following code,

public void setDataList(List<HorizontalBarChartData> dataList, Resources resources) {

    ArrayList<String> categories = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<BarEntry> values = new ArrayList<BarEntry>();
    ArrayList<BarDataSet> dataSets = new ArrayList<BarDataSet>();
    BarDataSet set1;
    for (int i = 0; i < dataList.size(); i++) {
        categories.add(dataList.get(i).getName());
        values.add(new BarEntry(dataList.get(i).getValue(), i));
    }

    /*set1 = new BarDataSet(values, "Income, Expense, Disposable Income");*/
    set1 = new BarDataSet(values, "Category 1, Category 2, Category 3");
    set1.setBarSpacePercent(35f);
    set1.setColors(new int[]{resources.getColor(R.color.cyan_blue), resources.getColor(R.color.vermilion_tint), resources.getColor(R.color.sea_green)});
    dataSets.add(set1);

    BarData data = new BarData(categories, dataSets);
    data.setValueTextSize(10f);

    horizontalBarChart.setData(data);
}

Yes, is possible, just using following code:

mChart.setDescription("");    // Hide the description
mChart.getAxisLeft().setDrawLabels(false);
mChart.getAxisRight().setDrawLabels(false);
mChart.getXAxis().setDrawLabels(false);

mChart.getLegend().setEnabled(false);   // Hide the legend

Is possible to hide `Category 1, Category 2, Category 3` legend bro. – Gunaseelan Mar 13 '15 at 12:05
In my project, i use mChart.getXAxis().setDrawLabels(false) to hide it. But my x axis is left, not right. – codezjx Mar 13 '15 at 12:13

Yes, bro, you can use mChart.getLegend().setEnabled(false) to hide legend, but be careful: you need to set data for the chart before calling this method. It means you should call after mChart.setData(). – codezjx Mar 13 '15 at 12:21

In v3.0.3 to hide the description you need to do this: `Description description = new Description(); description.setText(""); mChart.setDescription(description);` – Sergey Stasishin May 16 '18 at 13:10
Superhit. Thanks, Man – Daxesh V Jan 18 '20 at 12:26
Just fyi: the description can now be hidden in Kotlin (and also Java) bij using: `mChart.description.isEnabled = false` or `mChart.description.setEnabled(false)` – Tom Truyen May 28 '22 at 14:46

As per this answer

mChart.getXAxis().setDrawLabels(false); will hide the entire X-Axis(as required for this question).

For positioning the X-Axis, following code works.

    XAxis xAxis = mChart.getXAxis();
    xAxis.setPosition(XAxis.XAxisPosition.BOTTOM);

Position can be set to

BOTTOM
BOTH_SIDED
BOTTOM_INSIDE
TOP
TOP_INSIDE

This helps if you are trying to hide only the particular side axis instead of hiding the entire axis.

It appears mChart.setDescription() no longer accepts a String.

The method now accepts an instance of the Description Class like this: mChart.setDescription(Description description)

So to modify or delete the Chart Description you may do it like below

Description description = new Description();
description.setText("");
mChart.setDescription(description);

Below code works for PieChart. Try to get same method for your Chart.

Legend l = mChart.getLegend();
l.setPosition(LegendPosition.NONE);

@Gunaseelan No method available as horizontalBarChart.getLegend()?? – Pooja Mar 13 '15 at 11:41
No, `Legend.LegendPosition.NONE` is not available. – Gunaseelan Mar 13 '15 at 11:45

LegendPosition.NONE has been removed. use legend.setEnabled(false) instead. – Philipp Jahoda Mar 13 '15 at 15:17

Kotlin solution for MPAndroidChart:v3.1.0

chart.description.isEnabled = false // hide the description
chart.legend.isEnabled = false // hide the legend 

chart.xAxis.setDrawLabels(false) // hide bottom label
chart.axisLeft.setDrawLabels(false) // hide left label
chart.axisRight.setDrawLabels(false) // hide right label

I had the problem, that the bottom xAxis Labels are cutted off when I used mChart.getLegend().setEnabled(false)

Now I use chart.getLegend().setForm(Legend.LegendForm.NONE); instead and the labels are not cutted of anymore
