I am using anychart library for android to display a pie chart, it gets the data from a mysql using volley and a node JS api to facilitate the crud operation

I am just facing a problem refresing the chart when new data is available from the data base. I used Log.d to make sure the data is actually being updated it, I checked anycharts github and tried the solutions they listed, mainly that I just need to set the data again with the new data, that didn't work Please any help is greatly appreciated. I even tried creating a button and try to set the graph with complety new and hardcoded data. but that didn't work, I tried to use gone and visible and that didn't work

here is my code:

Basically all you need to update the chart with new data is to make it active and apply new data. For details, check the following issue threads: issue 1 issue 2

Directly it's not possible , You need to add Socket for it SocketIO for it. So you need to integrate socketIO server side and client side both . Please check this :-

  • any_chart_view.invalidate(); call this code inside your UpdateChart method after any_chart_view.setChart(pie) . – Sachin Soma Feb 14 '20 at 12:07
