Google Charts for native Android apps
10 likes22,538 views
Google Charts can be used for native Android apps as it provides a feature-rich, simple API for creating customizable and interactive charts with minimal effort. While client-side libraries offer open source charting options, they often have limited features, outdated platform support, and difficulty customizing appearance. Google Charts works across platforms, but requires an internet connection and has longer load times than local client-side libraries. A sample app demonstrates how to dynamically update Google Charts with new data.
