MPAndroidChart - Round edged bar chart

Question

I am trying to create a chart like below, For my android application using MPAndroidChart. I am unable to figure out, how to make the bar chart's edges as round edged. It always comes as square edge.

So can you please suggest me what I should do?

In advance thanks for your help.

I try combined @mallaudin and @Janusz Hain code. It's working now, Thanks you!!! here's my code

public class CustomBarChartRender extends BarChartRenderer {

private RectF mBarShadowRectBuffer = new RectF();

private int mRadius;

public CustomBarChartRender(BarDataProvider chart, ChartAnimator animator, ViewPortHandler viewPortHandler) {
    super(chart, animator, viewPortHandler);
}

public void setRadius(int mRadius) {
    this.mRadius = mRadius;
}

protected void drawDataSet(Canvas c, IBarDataSet dataSet, int index) {

    Transformer trans = mChart.getTransformer(dataSet.getAxisDependency());
    mBarBorderPaint.setColor(dataSet.getBarBorderColor());
    mBarBorderPaint.setStrokeWidth(Utils.convertDpToPixel(dataSet.getBarBorderWidth()));
    mShadowPaint.setColor(dataSet.getBarShadowColor());
    boolean drawBorder = dataSet.getBarBorderWidth() > 0f;

    float phaseX = mAnimator.getPhaseX();
    float phaseY = mAnimator.getPhaseY();

    if (mChart.isDrawBarShadowEnabled()) {
        mShadowPaint.setColor(dataSet.getBarShadowColor());

        BarData barData = mChart.getBarData();

        float barWidth = barData.getBarWidth();
        float barWidthHalf = barWidth / 2.0f;
        float x;

        int i = 0;
        double count = Math.min(Math.ceil((int) (double) ((float) dataSet.getEntryCount() * phaseX)), dataSet.getEntryCount());

        Path path2 = roundRect(new RectF(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],

In other class:

CustomBarChartRender barChartRender = new CustomBarChartRender(barChart,barChart.getAnimator(), barChart.getViewPortHandler());
    barChartRender.setRadius(20);
    barChart.setRenderer(barChartRender);

Answer 2

I've implemented a solution to achieve that straight on the library itself.

Firstly create an attrs.xml adding a new attribute to use on your chart view. Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="BarChart">
        <attr name="radius" format="integer" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

Then edit the method called drawDataSet on the BarChartRenderer:

protected void drawDataSet(Canvas c, BarDataSet dataSet, int index) {

    Transformer trans = mChart.getTransformer(dataSet.getAxisDependency());

    mShadowPaint.setColor(dataSet.getBarShadowColor());

    float phaseX = mAnimator.getPhaseX();
    float phaseY = mAnimator.getPhaseY();

    List<BarEntry> entries = dataSet.getYVals();

    // initialize the buffer
    BarBuffer buffer = mBarBuffers[index];
    buffer.setPhases(phaseX, phaseY);
    buffer.setBarSpace(dataSet.getBarSpace());
    buffer.setDataSet(index);
    buffer.setInverted(mChart.isInverted(dataSet.getAxisDependency()));

    buffer.feed(entries);

    trans.pointValuesToPixel(buffer.buffer);

    // if multiple colors
    if (dataSet.getColors().size() > 1) {

        for (int j = 0; j < buffer.size(); j += 4) {

            if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsLeft(buffer.buffer[j + 2]))
                continue;

            if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsRight(buffer.buffer[j]))
                break;

            if (mChart.isDrawBarShadowEnabled()) {
                if (mRadius > 0)
                    c.drawRoundRect(new RectF(buffer.buffer[j], mViewPortHandler.contentTop(),
                            buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                            mViewPortHandler.contentBottom()), mRadius, mRadius, mShadowPaint);
                else
                    c.drawRect(buffer.buffer[j], mViewPortHandler.contentTop(),
                            buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                            mViewPortHandler.contentBottom(), mShadowPaint);
            }

            // Set the color for the currently drawn value. If the index
            // is
            // out of bounds, reuse colors.
            mRenderPaint.setColor(dataSet.getColor(j / 4));
            if (mRadius > 0)
                c.drawRoundRect(new RectF(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                        buffer.buffer[j + 3]), mRadius, mRadius, mRenderPaint);
            else
                c.drawRect(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                        buffer.buffer[j + 3], mRenderPaint);
        }
    } else {

        mRenderPaint.setColor(dataSet.getColor());

        for (int j = 0; j < buffer.size(); j += 4) {

            if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsLeft(buffer.buffer[j + 2]))
                continue;

            if (!mViewPortHandler.isInBoundsRight(buffer.buffer[j]))
                break;

            if (mChart.isDrawBarShadowEnabled()) {
                if (mRadius > 0)
                    c.drawRoundRect(new RectF(buffer.buffer[j], mViewPortHandler.contentTop(),
                            buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                            mViewPortHandler.contentBottom()), mRadius, mRadius, mShadowPaint);
                else
                    c.drawRect(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                            buffer.buffer[j + 3], mRenderPaint);
            }

            if (mRadius > 0)
                c.drawRoundRect(new RectF(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                        buffer.buffer[j + 3]), mRadius, mRadius, mRenderPaint);
            else
                c.drawRect(buffer.buffer[j], buffer.buffer[j + 1], buffer.buffer[j + 2],
                        buffer.buffer[j + 3], mRenderPaint);
        }
    }
}

By doing this you're changing the rectangle but not its highlight, so change this bit of code on the drawHighlighted method:

if (mRadius > 0)
      c.drawRoundRect(mBarRect, mRadius, mRadius, mHighlightPaint);
else
      c.drawRect(mBarRect, mHighlightPaint);

To get the attribute from the xml file onto this render you need to add a set method as well:

public void setRadius (int radius) {
        mRadius = radius;
}

Finally create a new constructor on the BarChart object to grab the radius attribute:

public BarChart(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        mRadius = attrs.getAttributeIntValue("http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto", "radius", 0);
        ((BarChartRenderer)mRenderer).setRadius(mRadius);
    }

And voila! Happy coding :)
