MPAndroidChart how to set label color?

Question

got the following code:

    graph = (LineChart) convertView.findViewById(R.id.graph);
    graph.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_LEGEND_LABEL).setColor(Color.BLUE);
    graph.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_YLABEL).setColor(Color.BLUE);
    graph.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_XLABEL).setColor(Color.BLUE);

But still the color of X/Y-value-lables and also the lable of the legend stay in black color. Do I miss something? Is there an other way to set the color of these?

This line for example works and results in blue value-lables for each data-point:

    graph.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_VALUES).setColor(Color.BLUE);

Thanks in advance!

Try this to set the colors of axis and legend:

chart.getAxisLeft().setTextColor(...); // left y-axis
chart.getXAxis().setTextColor(...);
chart.getLegend().setTextColor(...);
chart.getDescription().setTextColor(...);

If you want to set the color of the drawn values inside the chart, check out the setting colors documentation or the setting data documentation.

Hi! This solution works with getXLabels and getYLables, but getLegend() returns null. But I can clearly see the legend indicating the color of my graph and a lable next to it. Any suggestions? – Fabian Feb 24 '15 at 15:32
Read the documentation of the getLegend method – Philipp Jahoda Feb 24 '15 at 17:45
@PhilippJahoda is there a way to set the color for each x axis label? This was asked here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39772646/mpandroidchart-can-i-set-different-colours-for-the-x-axis-labels?noredirect=1&lq=1 – Mark O'Sullivan Dec 06 '16 at 10:16
Hi Phiip, I am appending the label and value while setting to piechart but I want to increase the size of the value to bold.Can we do that ? – Ashish Shukla Jan 30 '18 at 11:36
getLegend() does the job – Michał Dobi Dobrzański Apr 15 '18 at 11:11
@AshishShukla to make the x axis bold use line_chart_to_draw_weight.getXAxis().setTypeface(Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.BOLD)); – Abdulrahman Abdelkader Aug 15 '20 at 23:10

Incase for a pie chat to change its label colors you can do this

pieChart.getLegend().setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
