Candlestick chart

[PhilJay]

Hello!

I am glad to hear that developers are considering this library for their applications.
Originally, I did not plan to create a candlestick chart. Nevertheless, I have already received quite a few e-mails from people requesting a candlestick chart implementation. So I have decided to add a candlestick chart to the library.

What is your timeframe? Since I am quite busy with other stuff this week, I can start implementing the candlestick chart at the beginning of next week, at the earliest. Whad I already did is create the basis for later implementing the candlestickchart on the experimental branch.

I doubt that any code from the mentioned open-source projects can be directly used for this library, but it can't do any harm taking a look at them.

Regards,
Phil

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your respond.

Currently, I'm using achartengine (https://code.google.com/p/achartengine/) to implement price/time chart (https://lh6.ggpht.com/jT1pBoK8yE-yr4Ye3zjcPwWI0KLvCxGcXWIjchIhzZuLH_tC84a8iEZWtnaCsEdrEYI=h900-rw)

However, due to lacking of "candlestick chart" feature, I do have plan to try out other charting libraries.

I don't have a specific timeframe. I don't mind to wait for a high quality library :)

I'm great that you're interested to implement candlestick chart for your wonderful library. I will keep a close monitoring on your "experimental" branch.

Thank you very much.

Alright. Without any promises, I think I will be able to publish a first version of the candlestick-chart within the next two weeks.

Until that, stay tuned. :)

Phil

I just finished a first version of the CandleStickChart and pushed it to master.

Check out the implementation of the example project in order to find out how to use it.

Furthermore, within a few hours the updated exapmle application should be uploaded to the playstore that shows the candlestickchart in use.

I am not very familiar with candle-stick charts so it would be nice if you could give me feedback of what is not working / what should be changed / what should be added.

Phil

Hi Phil,

Wow. That's really fast!

I will look at your candlestick chart immediately, once I finished my half-baked in progress feature : http://yccheok.blogspot.com/2014/08/do-you-like-new-dividend-page-design.html

I will provide you feedback most probably before end of this week.

Thank you very much!

Allright. I also added a screenshot to the readme so you can check out what the chart looks like right now.

Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil, I had spent few hour to play around on candlestick feature. However, I had diverted my attention to this issues : #60 I tried to figure out the root cause of slowness but still haven't find any good hint...

Slowness / reaction time of the highlighting touch-gesture should now be fixed.

Phil
