This is a major update to the Tangram Android SDK. There are breaking changes to the API in this release, as well as some new interfaces.

Features

  • The Tangram Android SDK now uses the CMake external native build process introduced in Android Studio 2.2. This simplifies Android build process and enables building Tangram for Android on Windows (#1152).
  • Scene updates can now be applied when a scene is first loaded. This is a faster, more convenient way to apply settings like API Keys. (#1173).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Previously queueSceneUpdate required 2 string arguments, this is now updated with an overloaded method. It either required a list of SceneUpdates or a SceneUpdate object (#1173).
  • Markers on the map can now be queried like other features (#1161).
  • Feature (and Marker) picking now allows setting a radius to account for pointer size (#1230).
  • Added support for label placement parameters: placement, placement_spacing and placement_min_length_ratio (#1211).
  • repeat_distance and repeat_group logic now applies to all 'points' styles (#1228).
  • dash style parameter now accepts floating point values (#1249).

Fixes

  • Fixed application of JS functions in Marker styling (#1201).
  • Clarified centroid calculations for degenerate polygons (#1221).
  • Fixed some uninitialized variables (#1250).
  • Fixed inconsistent parsing of Boolean values between GeoJSON and TopoJSON data sources (#1274).
  • Text stroke width now scales correctly with display density (#1259).
  • Fixed crashes during screen orientation change on a small number of devices/emulators (#1206, #1234).
  • Fixed a data race in textures for font atlases (#1202).

Enhancements

  • Font loading is faster now (#1194, #1176).
  • A new shader cache improves load times for scenes with lots of custom styles (#1225).
  • DataSource has been refactored to better support offline map data (#1014).
  • Simplified handling of EGL context loss on Android; this behaves correctly on all devices we've tested but if you notice problems on a very old Android phone when apps resume from pause, let us know and we'll try to help (#1234).
  • Refactored label pipeline in preparation for curved label support (#1205).
  • Reduced log verbosity (#1259 and #1258).
  • Text draw parameter required is replaced by optional (#1209).
  • Networking now uses OkHTTP 3.5 on Android (#1171).
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The setCache method of HttpHandler has been replaced with a new constructor overload, due to changes in OkHTTP 3.0 (#1171).
