Make chart invisible until data is populated. This should solve the problem.

Maybe explain how to do that? – Vemonus Jan 23 '17 at 19:36
@Vemonus: I am fetching chart data from server. So as long as data is not available I am keeping chart invisible. As soon as data is fetched I am making chart visible after setting data – Saurabh Jan 31 '17 at 02:58
@Vemonus `view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE)`. Charts are a subclass of the `View` class – MrObjectOriented Apr 10 '21 at 17:55

First you can use:

chart.setNoDataText("Your description");

Then, you can customize through Paint object:

mChart.setNoDataText("Description that you want");
Paint p = mChart.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_INFO);
p.setTextSize(...);
p.setColor(...);
p.setTypeface(...);

Have you added LineDataSet?

LineData xData = mChart.getData();
ILineDataSet x = xData.getDataSetByIndex(0);
x = createXSet();
xData.addDataSet(x);

xData.addEntry(new Entry(5f, 21, 0);

xData.notifyDataChanged();

mChart.notifyDataSetChanged();
mChart.setVisibleXRangeMaximum(30);
mChart.moveViewToX(xData.getEntryCount());


private LineDataSet createXSet(boolean drawPoints) {

    LineDataSet set = new LineDataSet(null, "x");
    set.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    set.setLineWidth(2f);
    set.setCircleRadius(2f);
    set.setCircleColor(Color.WHITE);
    set.setFillAlpha(65);
    set.setFillColor(Color.GREEN);
    set.setHighLightColor(Color.rgb(244, 117, 117));
    set.setValueTextColor(Color.WHITE);
    set.setValueTextSize(9f);
    set.setDrawValues(false);
    return set;
}
