I am using MPAndroidChart.

How can I remove the description from PieChart? I can remove the Legend with chart.setDrawLegend(false), but I couldn't find anything regarding the chart description in the documentation.

Do you mean the description which is in the bottom right corner (default) of the Chart?

If so, simply call:

chart.getDescription().setEnabled(false);

Or did you mean the textual description inside the pie-slices?

pieChart.setDrawSliceText(false);

Or did you mean the actual slice values inside the pie-slices?

pieData.setDrawValues(false);

Or are you talking about the Legend (shows all DataSet labels and colors outside of the chart)?

chart.getLegend().setEnabled(false);

This answer is based on release v3.0.0+, for more information check out the documentation.
