Is there a way to draw graphs and charts in Android?

Question

I am new Java and new to Android. I am trying to write an Android app that graphs data from a user based on date. Is there a way to do this in Java without using JavaScript (which I don't know)?

Try below code

GraphActivity class

  package com.graph;
 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.os.Bundle;

 public class GraphActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    float[] values = new float[] { 2.0f,1.5f, 2.5f, 1.0f , 3.0f };
    String[] verlabels = new String[] { "great", "ok", "bad" };
    String[] horlabels = new String[] { "today", "tomorrow", "next week", "next month" };
    GraphView graphView = new GraphView(this, values, "GraphViewDemo",horlabels, verlabels, GraphView.LINE);
    setContentView(graphView);
}
}

GraphView class

package com.graph;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Paint.Align;
import android.view.View;


public class GraphView extends View {

public static boolean BAR = true;
public static boolean LINE = false;

private Paint paint;
private float[] values;
private String[] horlabels;
private String[] verlabels;
private String title;
private boolean type;

public GraphView(Context context, float[] values, String title, String[] horlabels, String[] verlabels, boolean type) {
    super(context);
    if (values == null)
        values = new float[0];
    else
        this.values = values;
    if (title == null)
        title = "";
    else
        this.title = title;
    if (horlabels == null)
        this.horlabels = new String[0];
    else
        this.horlabels = horlabels;
    if (verlabels == null)
        this.verlabels = new String[0];
    else
        this.verlabels = verlabels;
    this.type = type;
    paint = new Paint();
}

@Override
