http://android-er.blogspot.com/2014/08/display-google-charts-pie-chart-on.html
This example show how to use Google Charts to display pie chart on Android WebView. Google chart tools are powerful, simple to use, and free. It not only display a static graphic, but also provide user touch interactive operation, check the video on the bottom.

Display Google Charts (pie chart) displayed Android WebView
We have a MainActivity to collect data from user:
package com.example.androidwebchart;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
 
 EditText num1, num2, num3, num4, num5;
 Button btnShow;

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

        num1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num1);
        num2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num2);
        num3 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num3);
        num4 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num4);
        num5 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num5);
        btnShow = (Button)findViewById(R.id.show);
        
        btnShow.setOnClickListener(btnShowOnClickListener);
    }
    
    OnClickListener btnShowOnClickListener =
     new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(
     MainActivity.this, 
     ShowWebChartActivity.class);
    
    intent.putExtra("NUM1", getNum(num1));
    intent.putExtra("NUM2", getNum(num2));
    intent.putExtra("NUM3", getNum(num3));
    intent.putExtra("NUM4", getNum(num4));
    intent.putExtra("NUM5", getNum(num5));

    startActivity(intent);
   }
     
    };
    
    private int getNum(EditText editText){
     
     int num = 0;

     String stringNum = editText.getText().toString();
     if(!stringNum.equals("")){
      num = Integer.valueOf(stringNum);
     }
     
     return (num);
    }

}

/res/layout/activity_main.xml, layout of MainActivity.

</LinearLayout>

When User click on the "Show Chart" button, it will start another activity, ShowWebChartActivity.java, and pass user data. ShowWebChartActivity load a WebView with our HTML to display Google Charts with Javascript. We have to implement WebAppInterface, with methods of @JavascriptInterface, getNum1()...getNum5(). It will be called by Javascript inside HTML to retrieve user data.
package com.example.androidwebchart;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.webkit.JavascriptInterface;
import android.webkit.WebView;

@SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled") 
public class ShowWebChartActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
 
 WebView webView;
 int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_webchart);
        
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        num1 = intent.getIntExtra("NUM1", 0);
        num2 = intent.getIntExtra("NUM2", 0);
        num3 = intent.getIntExtra("NUM3", 0);
        num4 = intent.getIntExtra("NUM4", 0);
        num5 = intent.getIntExtra("NUM5", 0);
        
        webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.web);
        webView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebAppInterface(), "Android");

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
        webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/chart.html");
 }

 public class WebAppInterface {

     @JavascriptInterface
  public int getNum1() {
   return num1;
  }
  
  @JavascriptInterface
  public int getNum2() {
   return num2;
  }
  
  @JavascriptInterface
  public int getNum3() {
   return num3;
  }
  
  @JavascriptInterface
  public int getNum4() {
   return num4;
  }
  
  @JavascriptInterface
  public int getNum5() {
   return num5;
  }
 }

}

/res/layout/layout_webchart.xml, layout of ShowWebChartActivity.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold" />
    
    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/web"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</LinearLayout>

/assets/chart.html, our HTML to load and display Google Charts. Actually it is modified from Google Quick Start example of pie chart. The main difference is it retrieve user data by calling Android JavascriptInterface methods (getNum1()...getNum5()), instead of fixed data.
<html>
  <head>
    <!--Load the AJAX API-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
      // Load the Visualization API and the piechart package.
      google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']});
      
      // Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded.
      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);


      // Callback that creates and populates a data table, 
      // instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and
      // draws it.
      function drawChart() {

      // Create the data table.
      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
      data.addColumn('string', 'ITEM');
      data.addColumn('number', 'VALUE');
      data.addRows([
        ['Item 1', Android.getNum1()],
        ['Item 2', Android.getNum2()],
        ['Item 3', Android.getNum3()], 
        ['Item 4', Android.getNum4()],
        ['Item 5', Android.getNum5()]
      ]);

      // Set chart options
      var options = {'title':'Android-er: Load Google Charts (pie chart) with WebView',
                     'width':600,
                     'height':600};

      // Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options.
      var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
      chart.draw(data, options);
    }
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
 <!--Div that will hold the pie chart-->
    <div id="chart_div" style="width:600; height:600"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Finally, modify AndroidManifest.xml to add <activity> of ShowWebChartActivity, and <uses-permission> of "android.permission.INTERNET".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.androidwebchart"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".ShowWebChartActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

how to retrieve image from sqlite database in android and display in listview

 Android platform provides several ways to store data in our application. 1. SQLite database 2. SharedPreferences etc For our post, we will only work with SQLite database. First and foremost, we need to understand what an SQLite database is? SQLite database  is an open source SQL database that stores data to a text file on a device. It executes SQL Commands to perform a set of functions, that is, create, read, update and delete operations. On my previous post, I showed how to  store data in SQLite database from edit text, retrieve and populate it in a listview . For this post, I will show the SQLite CRUD operations with images from gallery and text from EditText. We need to understand this; images are stored in SQLite database as BLOB data type. A BLOB is a large binary object that can hold a variable amount of data.  Note, we can only store images in the database as BLOB data type. We need to convert our image path to a bitmap then to bytes. Also
