JTS (LocationTech) update

[sunshine0576]

JTS (LocationTech) current version is 1.16.1，When to update it？

[devemux86]

JTS 1.16+ seems to require Java 8 and Android 7 Nougat (API 24)?

D8: Default interface methods are only supported starting with Android N (--min-api 24):
org.locationtech.jts.geom.Coordinate org.locationtech.jts.geom.CoordinateSequence.createCoordinate()

JTS (LocationTech) current version is 1.19.0，When to update it？

We may see this in the future as min Android increases.

VTM works fine with current JTS, why need an update?

[CodeK1988]

because OffsetCurveBuilder getOffsetCurve not working. works fine when distance is set to 100, has bug when set to 1000.
ocb.getOffsetCurve(lineDrawable.getGeometry().getCoordinates(), -100 / NEARNESS_FACTOR); working.
ocb.getOffsetCurve(lineDrawable.getGeometry().getCoordinates(), -10000 / NEARNESS_FACTOR); have bug. @devemux86

by the way, private static final int NEARNESS_FACTOR = 100000;

You can exclude VTM transitive dependencies in application Gradle and use your preferred versions.

@devemux86 not working, wdtinc/mapbox-vector-tile-java#48 get this. by the way,thank you reply. mate

Dependencies are not updated without extensive testing and they must update / work together.
More important is not break Android min SDK and keep compatibility with older Android / Java.

VTM uses JTS in vtm-jts for overlays, which is a core feature of the library and must work.

Mapbox vector tiles in vtm-mvt module use 3rd-party mapbox-vector-tile lib (using JTS).
