Android Layout issue: Unable to add two layouts of

Question

I am trying to add two dynamic line charts in vertical using AChartEngine. However I am getting some problem with the layout. Added below are the related java files, xml file and logcat(I have other java files like Ubidots.java, Point.java and Context.java but I don't think these are required here).

LineGraph.java:

public class LineGraph {
private GraphicalView view;

private TimeSeries dataset = new TimeSeries("LDR Values");
private XYMultipleSeriesDataset mDataset = new XYMultipleSeriesDataset();

private XYSeriesRenderer renderer = new XYSeriesRenderer(); // This will be used to customize line 1
private XYMultipleSeriesRenderer mRenderer = new XYMultipleSeriesRenderer(); // Holds a collection of XYSeriesRenderer and customizes the graph

private GraphicalView view1;

private TimeSeries dataset1 = new TimeSeries("LDR Values");

private XYSeriesRenderer renderer1 = new XYSeriesRenderer(); // This will be used to customize line 1

public LineGraph()
{
    // Add single dataset to multiple dataset
    mDataset.addSeries(dataset);

    // Customization time for line 1!
    renderer.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    renderer.setPointStyle(PointStyle.SQUARE);
    renderer.setFillPoints(true);
    renderer.setDisplayChartValues(true);
    renderer.setChartValuesSpacing(10);


    // mRenderer: renderer that controls the full charts and add the single renderer for each series:
    // Enable Zoom
    //mRenderer.setZoomButtonsVisible(true);
    mRenderer.setMarginsColor(Color.argb(0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00));
    mRenderer.setXTitle("Day #");
    mRenderer.setYTitle("LDR Values");
    mRenderer.setYAxisMax(35000);
    mRenderer.setYAxisMin(20000);
    mRenderer.setShowGrid(true);
    mRenderer.setInScroll(true);

    // Add single renderer to multiple renderer
    mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer);

    /////////////////////////////////////

    mDataset.addSeries(dataset1);

    // Customization time for line 1!
    renderer1.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    renderer1.setPointStyle(PointStyle.SQUARE);
    renderer1.setFillPoints(true);
    renderer1.setDisplayChartValues(true);
    renderer1.setChartValuesSpacing(10);


    // mRenderer: renderer that controls the full charts and add the single renderer for each series:
    // Enable Zoom
    //mRenderer.setZoomButtonsVisible(true);
    mRenderer.setMarginsColor(Color.argb(0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00));
    mRenderer.setXTitle("Day #");
    mRenderer.setYTitle("Soil Humidity Values");
    mRenderer.setYAxisMax(35000);
    mRenderer.setYAxisMin(20000);
    mRenderer.setShowGrid(true);
    mRenderer.setInScroll(true);

    // Add single renderer to multiple renderer
    mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer1);


}

public GraphicalView getView(Context context)
{
    view =  ChartFactory.getLineChartView(context, mDataset, mRenderer);
    return view;
}

public void addNewPoints(Point p)
{
    dataset.add(p.getX(), p.getY());
}

public GraphicalView getView1(Context context)
{
    view1 =  ChartFactory.getLineChartView(context, mDataset, mRenderer);
    return view1;
}

public void addNewPoints1(Point p1)
{
    dataset1.add(p1.getX(), p1.getY());
 }

private LineGraph line = new LineGraph();
private LineGraph line1 = new LineGraph();
private static Thread thread;
private static Thread thread1;
LinearLayout row1;

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    //myWindow = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.paidLayoutLinearParent);

    thread = new Thread() {

        {
            for (int i = 0; i <1000; i++)
            {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                Point p = UbidotsData.getDataFromReceiver(i); // We got new data!

                line.addNewPoints(p); // Add it to our graph
                view.repaint();
            }
        }
    };
    thread.start();

    thread1 = new Thread() {
        public void run()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i <1000; i++)
            {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                Point p = UbidotsData.getsoilDataFromReceiver(i); // We got new data!

                line1.addNewPoints1(p); // Add it to our graph
                view1.repaint();
            }
        }
    };
    thread1.start();
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    view = line.getView(this);
    view = line1.getView1(this);
    row1.addView(view,new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    row2.addView(view1,new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    //setContentView(row1);
   // setContentView(row2);

    }

}

As for the last part, when I use only chart to display data I use the following codes which works and displays the chart with values fetched in real-time:

 protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    view = line.getView(this);
    setContentView(view);
 }

Answer 1

view = line.getView(this);
view = line1.getView1(this);

You set one field twice. And never set second. Try

view1 = line1.getView1(this);
