Charts not working on mobile (Android)

[DarrylMember]

I’ve been investigating the use of the charts (specifically pie charts) to graphically represent summary data from our Nagios server. They work great for desktop browsers and iPad, but the charts don’t display at on on my Android phone (HTC Desire HD running Android 2.3.5) I though perhaps it was something in my code, but the samples from jqwidgets.com don’t display either.

Anyone else run across this problem? Randomly tested the grid, calendar and buttons, and those demos worked, just not the charts.

Thanks

Hi Darryl,

Charts require SVG or VML which is not supported on that version of Android. As far as I know, SVG is supported on Android 3+.

Thanks for the reply and the explanation Peter.

I’ve been experimenting with canvg (http://code.google.com/p/canvg/) to convert SVG to Canvas elements for Android users, but so far I’m not having too much success.
