Charts: "noDataText" does not work

[ricpi]

I set "noDataText", but it does not work, it always be "no chart data available." when the chart is empty even i change the value of "noDataText" in ChartViewBase.swift

How do you change it. It should be working:

    /// text that is displayed when the chart is empty
    open var noDataText = "No chart data available."

@liuxuan30 I set a value for "noDataText", it does not work, and i try to change source code like this:
/// text that is displayed when the chart is empty
open var noDataText = "Other Value"
it does not work too, the empty chart always display "No chart data available"

I just tried and it works just fine. I believe you should made some simple mistakes. Check from:

    open override func draw(_ rect: CGRect)
    {
        let optionalContext = NSUIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        guard let context = optionalContext else { return }

        let frame = self.bounds

        if _data === nil && noDataText.characters.count > 0
        {
            context.saveGState()
            defer { context.restoreGState() }

            ChartUtils.drawMultilineText(
                context: context,
                text: noDataText,
                point: CGPoint(x: frame.width / 2.0, y: frame.height / 2.0),
                attributes:
                [NSFontAttributeName: noDataFont,
                 NSForegroundColorAttributeName: noDataTextColor],
                constrainedToSize: self.bounds.size,
                anchor: CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5),
                angleRadians: 0.0)

            return
        }

debug into here to see how noDataText is fed.

Got the same issue. Setting noDataText or noDataTextColor doesn't change anything.
All the other attributes work as expected.

// Works
cell.chartView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
cell.chartView.chartDescription!.enabled = false
cell.chartView.drawGridBackgroundEnabled = false
cell.chartView.dragEnabled = false
cell.chartView.pinchZoomEnabled = false
cell.chartView.setScaleEnabled(false)
cell.chartView.xAxis.enabled = false
cell.chartView.rightAxis.enabled = false
cell.chartView.leftAxis.enabled = false
cell.chartView.legend.enabled = false
// Doesn't work
cell.chartView.noDataText = "Foo"
cell.chartView.noDataTextColor = UIColor.white

Nevermind, got it working by placing it before draw().

Nevermind, got it working by placing it before draw().

How ? do we directly calling draw method ? where did you placed the noDataText ?
