Answer 1

update answer

chart.setNoDataText("Description that you want");

Answer 2

If you also want to customize look & feel, you can do it through Paint object:

mChart.setNoDataText("Description that you want");
Paint p = mChart.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_INFO);
p.setTextSize(...);
p.setColor(...);
p.setTypeface(...);
... 

Answer 3

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_firestore__eintraege__heute);

    mChart = findViewById(R.id.chartZuckerHeute);
    mChart.setNoDataText("PUT IT HERE ON TOP; WORKED FOR ME");

Answer 4

The Correct answer is here:

 pie_chart.setNoDataText("No Data Available");
 val paint:Paint =  pie_chart.getPaint(Chart.PAINT_INFO)
 paint.textSize = 40f
 pie_chart.invalidate()

You also set other properties like text color, text typeface etc

Answer 5

You need put pieChart.invalidate() after setNoDataText():

@Override
    public void setDataMessagePieChart() {
        pieChart.setNoDataText("... your message ...");
        pieChart.invalidate();
    }

Answer 6

It's a little bit old thread, but I had the same issue so my solution was to set nodatatext immediately after the initialization of a chart:

PieChart pieChart = findViewById(R.id.chart) //in case of fragment view.findViewById(R.id.chart)
pieChart.setNoDataText("Loading");

Answer 7

If setNoDataText is not working, you have to set it (and after that run an invalidate()) when you are initializing the chart. Don't do it when you are right away to set the data.
