MPAndroidChart Barchart: Set the color of the label associated to the highlighted bar
I am currently using MPAndroidChart on a project. I am using a BarChart with a custom BarChartRenderer and XAxisRenderer.
The problem I'm facing is that I would like the label associated to the highlighted (clicked) bar to be colored the same color as the bar.
Is there a way to do that by overriding lib functions/classes?
Here is a screenshot of the actual state of my chart (the bar on Oct. 16th is highlighted).
And here is what I would like to have as a final result
Has anyone tried to do this kind of thing on MPAndroidChart?

I already saw this question before typing mine. In his case, the bars colors are rendered and then the color doesn't change. The XAxisRenderer is totally fine for this, because the colors won't change later. What I need to do is that if I highlight a bar (click on it), the color changes, and if I click on another bar, it returns to the base color and the other clicked element takes the highlighted color.
