Overview

Finance SDK is built on top of the SciChart library and allows you to create a full-blown finance chart app with a few lines of code.

The central place of the Finance SDK is the SciFinanceChart. It holds studies, panes, data provider, chart modifiers, such as cursor, legend etc.

Create a Finance Chart

So, to create a chart view you will have to do a few steps:

1. Add a SciFinanceChart view to your .xml file:

<com.scitrader.finance.SciFinanceChart
    android:id="@+id/financeChart"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

2. Create a dataProvider for our chart.

val candleDataProvider = DefaultCandleDataProvider()
chart.candleDataProvider = candleDataProvider

// fill the dataProvider with your data
fillDataProvider(candleDataProvider, DataManager.getCandles())

3. Add some studies.

As an example, let's add two studies - PriceSeriesStudy to show candlesticks and RSIStudy to show RSI(Relative Strength Index) indicator:

// Creating our study with a default(PaneId.DEFAULT_PANE) pane id means that we want to place our study on the main pane.
val priceSeriesStudy = PriceSeriesStudy(PaneId.DEFAULT_PANE)

// If you want to place your study on a separate pane, create it with some unique id.
val rsiStudy = RSIStudy(PaneId.uniqueId("RSI"))
        
chart.studies.add(priceSeriesStudy)
chart.studies.add(rsiStudy)

4. Also, let's enable a cursor:

chart.isCursorEnabled = true

That's it. You've just created a finance chart app and saved tons of development time.

Of course, you can change colors, indicator inputs, and everything else. Please read a Study article for more details.
