How to show only slice text in MPAndroidChart PieChart?

Question

I use the library MPAndroidChart to draw a pie chart.

I want to show only the slice text(X) and not the value of the slice(Y). The only way that I have found is to Override the Valuesformatter and send always an empty string.

data.setValueFormatter(new ValueFormatter()
        {
            @Override
            public String getFormattedValue(float value)
            {
                //return formatter_currency.format(value) + " " + currency;         
                return ""; // Display only categories name.
            }
        });

But in this way all the names doesn't fit the slice correctly(there is the empty string under it).

There is a way to achieve this?

Yes, there is a way.

Call:

pieChart.setDrawSliceText(false)

to disable drawing the x-labels for the chart-slices.

If you want to disable the y-values, call:

dataSet.setDrawValues(false)

EDIT: setDrawSliceText() is now deprecated use setDrawEntryLabels() instead.

Hi Philipp! I want to draw only the X-labels. For example if a slice have X = "Name" and Y = 10 in the slice I would see only "Name" – Blodhgard Mar 29 '15 at 22:01
I just tested it and there might be a bug in the API. I fixed it in the latest commit. – Philipp Jahoda Mar 29 '15 at 22:09
dataSet.setDrawValues(false); delete X and also Y values. However thanks for the good work, I just switched from acharengine to your library :D I wait for your update – Blodhgard Mar 29 '15 at 22:21
@PhilippJahoda It seems the Jar library hasn't been update yet. I just download the newest jar, the problem still exists. – Hong Apr 07 '15 at 05:38
@PhilipJahoda Hey Philip is there anyway to draw the labels outside of the pie chart instead of in the actual pie slices ?? – Doug Ray Mar 08 '16 at 20:18
