How to set different colour for each staked value of StackedBarChart

I am using MPAndroidChart library and my requirement is to show stack value in stack color as given in picture and also not above the bar but left and right for the alternate stack.
I have tried like this way but it didn't work
set.setValueTextColors(colorList);
It's giving one color for one complete bar.

I used a custom renderer to fix the issue
Here is the code
Chart creation
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mp_android_stacked_bar_chart);
barChart = (BarChart) this.findViewById(R.id.bar_chart);
float[] val1 = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70};
float[] val2 = {70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10};
ArrayList<BarEntry> yVals1 = new ArrayList<BarEntry>();
for (int i = 0; i < val1.length; i++) {
yVals1.add(new BarEntry(i, new float[]{val1[i], val2[i]}));
}
barChart.getDescription().setEnabled(false);
barChart.setPinchZoom(false); // scaling can now only be done on x- and y-axis separately
barChart.setDrawGridBackground(false);
barChart.setDrawBarShadow(false);
barChart.setDrawValueAboveBar(true);
barChart.setHighlightFullBarEnabled(false);
barChart.getAxisRight().setEnabled(false);
YAxis yAxis = barChart.getAxisLeft(); // change the position of the y-labels
yAxis.setAxisMinimum(0f);
yAxis.setDrawGridLines(false);
XAxis xAxis = barChart.getXAxis();
xAxis.setPosition(XAxis.XAxisPosition.BOTTOM);
xAxis.setGranularity(1f);
xAxis.setDrawGridLines(false);
ArrayList<Integer> colorList = new ArrayList<>();
colorList.add(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
colorList.add(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorAccent));
barChart.getLegend().setEnabled(false);
barChart.setRenderer(new StackedBarChartRenderer(barChart, barChart.getAnimator(), barChart.getViewPortHandler(), colorList));
BarDataSet set1 = new BarDataSet(yVals1, "");
set1.setColors(colorList);
ArrayList<IBarDataSet> dataSets = new ArrayList<>();
dataSets.add(set1);
BarData data = new BarData(dataSets);
barChart.setData(data);
barChart.setVisibleXRangeMaximum(4f);
barChart.invalidate();
}
These are important lines in the above code. Here we are setting the our own renderer class for the graph where we pass the required colorList
ArrayList<Integer> colorList = new ArrayList<>();
colorList.add(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
colorList.add(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorAccent));
barChart.setRenderer(new StackedBarChartRenderer(barChart, barChart.getAnimator(), barChart.getViewPortHandler(), colorList));
RENDERER
public class StackedBarChartRenderer extends BarChartRenderer {
private ArrayList<Integer> colorList;
private int index = 0;
private int numOfColors;
public StackedBarChartRenderer(BarDataProvider chart, ChartAnimator animator, ViewPortHandler viewPortHandler, ArrayList<Integer> colorList) {
super(chart, animator, viewPortHandler);
this.colorList = colorList;
this.numOfColors = colorList.size();
}
public void drawValue(Canvas c, IValueFormatter formatter, float value, Entry entry, int dataSetIndex, float x, float y, int color) {
mValuePaint.setColor(colorList.get(index));
if(value != 0){
c.drawText(formatter.getFormattedValue(value, entry, dataSetIndex, mViewPortHandler), x, y, mValuePaint);
}
index = ((index + 1) % (numOfColors));
}
}
In the above code we are overriding the necessary methods and iterating through the colorList in a cicular manner. You may have to change the logic
of the drawValue() function to suit your requirements.

Add this function to your custom render pick up the proper color even if some of your values are 0 in the stacked graph. This above function is exactly same as the default implementation expect for the following part :
if(val == 0){
drawValue(c,
dataSet.getValueFormatter(),
vals[k / 2],
entry,
i,
x,
y,
color);

Android SurfaceView onTouchEvent not getting called

I'm developing a game using SurfaceView which listens to touch events. The onTouchEvent method in SurfaceView works fine for many of the devices, but in some devices, sometimes it doesn't get called (Moto X Style is the one) and my app also stops responding.
I guess that this might be due to the overloading of main thread due to which onTouchEvent is starving.
Could some Android experts over here give me some tips to reduce the load on main thread if it's getting overloaded, or there might be some other reason which may cause this
The code is quite complex but still I'm posting some if you want to go through it

Don't override draw(). That's used to render the View, not the Surface, and you generally shouldn't override that method even if you're creating a custom View:
When implementing a view, implement onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) instead of overriding this method.
SurfaceViews have two parts, the Surface and the View. The View part is handled like any other View, but is generally just a transparent "hole" in the layout. The Surface is a separate layer that, by default, sits behind the View layer. Whatever you draw on the Surface "shows through" the transparent hole.
By overriding draw() you're drawing on the View whenever the View UI is invalidated. You're also calling draw() from the render thread, so you're drawing on the Surface, but with default Z-ordering you can't see that because the View contents are fully opaque. You will reduce your impact on the UI thread by not drawing everything in two different layers.
Unless you're deliberately drawing on the View, it's best to avoid subclassing SurfaceView entirely, and just use it as a member.
Because your draw code is synchronized, the two draw passes will not execute concurrently. That means your View layer draw call will block waiting for the Surface layer rendering to complete. Canvas rendering on a Surface is not hardware-accelerated, so if you're touching a lot of pixels it can get slow, and the UI thread will have to wait for it to run. That wouldn't be so bad, but you're holding on to the mutex while you're sleeping, which means the only opportunity for the main UI thread to run comes during the brief instant when the loop wraps around. The thread scheduler does not guarantee fairness, so it's entirely possible to starve the main UI thread this way.
If you change #override draw() to myDraw() things should get better. You should probably move your sleep call out of the synchronized block just on general principles, or work to eliminate it entirely. You might also want to consider using a custom View instead of SurfaceView.
On an unrelated note, you should probably avoid doing this every update:
Random random = new Random();
for the reasons noted here.

Successfully solved the issue. Can't imagine that the solution would be this much simple as compared to the problem that I was considering that complex. Just reduced the frame rate from 120 to 90 and guess what, it worked like charm!
Due to a high frame rate, the SurfaceView was busy doing all the drawing and onTouchEvent() method had to starve

I am well aware of the shabby code that I've written but highly helpless to generate a mathematical calculation on how to place the dragged circle to the nearest available canvas circle. Below depicted is a screenshot which helps in more understanding.
Points to be noted :
The function obtainTouchedCircle and getTouchedCircle are vital.
The MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE helps me in moving a circle but what it does is that it generates a new circle with the same dimensions every time which is totally fine but when a user drags and drops in somewhere, it should get placed in the nearest available circle.
Consider the below image where the yellow circles need to be moved around and placed in the blue circles according to the user's wish. That is my objective.
If someone can help me with the calculation on how I should figure out the nearest available circle while dragging would be of great help !!!! Thanks in advance.

It would be really nice if you help me to show this alphabetical scroll bar in the left side of the screen.

I got that this way,
public void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
mListViewWidth = w;
mListViewHeight = h;
mIndexbarRect = new RectF(mIndexbarMargin, mIndexbarMargin,
mIndexbarMargin + mIndexbarWidth, h - mIndexbarMargin);
}
This is the method to draw the rectangle in left side of the screen.
private boolean contains(float x, float y) {
return (x <= mIndexbarRect.right && y >= mIndexbarRect.top && y <= mIndexbarRect.top
+ mIndexbarRect.height());
}
It will work smoothly if you change the function to the below. sorry for the posting this answer little late.

How to implement the flood-fill algorithm in android?

How to implement the Flood-fill algorithm in android.But the code was written in c language.could we implement the algorithm in android.is there any open source code available or any website tutorial link

Algorithm for flood fill is a very simple recursive one.
//Initialize i and j to the place to start
floodFill(int arr[][], target_color, replace_color)
{
if(arr[i][j] == replace_color)
return;
replace(target_color, replace_color);
floodFill(int[i+1][j], target_color, replace_color);
floodFill(int[i][j+1], target_color, replace_color);
floodFill(int[i-1][j], target_color, replace_color);
floodFill(int[i][j-1], target_color, replace_color);
}
Flood Fill using queue. Use a asynctask to flood fill.
Parameters
bitamp to be filled
point where the user touches (x,y cordinates)
Color of pixel where use touches
Color to be replaced.
public class FloodFill {
public void floodFill(Bitmap image, Point node, int targetColor,
int replacementColor) {
int width = image.getWidth();
int height = image.getHeight();
int target = targetColor;
int replacement = replacementColor;
if (target != replacement) {
Queue<Point> queue = new LinkedList<Point>();
do {
int x = node.x;
int y = node.y;
while (x > 0 && image.getPixel(x - 1, y) == target) {
x--;
}
boolean spanUp = false;
boolean spanDown = false;
while (x < width && image.getPixel(x, y) == target) {
image.setPixel(x, y, replacement);
if (!spanUp && y > 0 && image.getPixel(x, y - 1) == target) {
queue.add(new Point(x, y - 1));
spanUp = true;
} else if (spanUp && y > 0
&& image.getPixel(x, y - 1) != target) {
