Can't add series after view creation about androidplot

[Erhannis]

Ah, nevermind. (Plot).redraw() is what I needed.

Holy crap... This has plagued me for Hours!!! Hours!.
I could load data when I launched the activity with the Plot but couldnt load a Series after that.
Why the heck wouldn't the plot redraw itself after adding a Series.?
In my case, I need to open a file and load the dataseries after the plot view has been loaded for a while and was blank..

The best way to think about it redraw is as a batching mechanism; you apply changes to the Plot and then commit them by invoking redraw.

The mechanism exists because it's inefficient and produces ugly visual effects to auto apply changes sequentially instead of all at once. Androidplot has no way of knowing whether you're adding one series or ten. The same expectation could be placed on any layout changes such as font or color changes, etc. If it were to redraw its self after each addition or layout change and multiple changes are made at once, the result would be ugly flickering / resizing effects instead of a single smooth update. It would also create synchronization headaches for certain kinds of multithreaded dynamic implementations and break many kinds of property animations.
