android - Error inflating custom view

Question

I have a pie chart custom view where I am drawing a pie chart in a canvas.

I am sending the pie chart values from the activity which is inside a fragment.

But I am getting error inflating the pie chart.I have tried all sorts of measures but not able to find the right solution

My activity is...

public class PieChart extends View {
    float valuesForDrawing[];
    float valuesForDisplay[];
    // private float[] values,valuesForDisplay = new float[] {};
    ArrayList<ViewWasTouchedListener> listeners = new ArrayList<ViewWasTouchedListener>();

    public void setWasTouchedListener(ViewWasTouchedListener listener) {
        listeners.add(listener);
    }

    private Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
    private float[] value_degree;
    private float[] value_degree_for_display;
    private float[] angle_list;
    private int[] COLORS = { Color.BLUE, Color.GREEN, Color.MAGENTA,
            Color.CYAN, Color.RED };
    RectF rectf = new RectF(36, 48, 325, 330);
    int temp = 0;

    public PieChart(Context context, float[] values) {

        super(context);

        valuesForDrawing = calculateData(values);
        value_degree = new float[valuesForDrawing.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            value_degree[i] = values[i];

        }

        valuesForDisplay = calculateDataForDisplay(values);
        value_degree_for_display = new float[valuesForDisplay.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            value_degree_for_display[i] = values[i];

        }

    }

    public PieChart(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, float[] values) {

        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            value_degree[i] = values[i];

        }

        valuesForDisplay = calculateDataForDisplay(values);

         }

I am calling the view from this statement..

 PieChart customView = new PieChart(getActivity(), values);

where values is float[] = {2,7,8,9,..anything};

But I am getting the error ....

EDIT I changed my constructors and set the values using a setter method

public void setValues(float[] values) {
    this.values = values;
}

But I am getting error

Answer 1

You need a constructor with just the Context and AttributeSet parameters. The values parameter is invalid, you will have to set the values programmatically after inflating.

Example:

public PieChart(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
    super(context, attrs);
}

public void setValues(float[] values){
    // Do stuff calculating
}
