Turn off fade anination on tiles

[c0dd3vi11]

Hi, @peterLaurence, again)

I found that TileCanvasView that performs that animation is internal. Could you recommend the best way to manage how tiles appear or how to remove the animation at all?

It could be simple - I admit, but in the meantime this is how to do it: There's a TileOptionsProvider that you can assign to the MapView using MapViewConfiguration.setTileOptionsProvider

interface TileOptionsProvider {
    /* Must not be a blocking call - should return immediately */
    @JvmDefault
    fun getColorFilter(row: Int, col: Int, zoomLvl: Int): ColorFilter? = null

    /**
     * Controls the speed of fade in effect when rendering tiles. Higher values make alpha
     * value go to 255 faster. Should be in between (0.0f, 1.0f].
     */
    @JvmDefault
    val alphaTick : Float
        get() = 0.07f
}

You just have to provide an implementation which returns 255f as alphaTick

You do not have to override getColorFilter method.

To summarize all this, here's an example:

val tileOptionsProvider = object : TileOptionsProvider {
      override val alphaTick: Float
           get() = 255f
}

val config = MapViewConfiguration(
    5, 8192, 8192, tileSize, tileStreamProvider)
.setMaxScale(2f).setTileOptionsProvider(tileOptionsProvider)

You might have to add this to your android{} section of your build.gradle:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    freeCompilerArgs = ['-Xjvm-default=compatibility']
}

Thank you for fast replying)

I tried the method and noticed, that 2.0.5 version didn't contain alphaTick method to override it. I applied the lib via gradle implementation 'com.peterlaurence:mapview:2.0.5' and don't know how to fetch the very recent implementation. Could you help me, please?

Oh my bad.. didn't see that it wasn't released yet. Wait a sec, I'm releasing 2.0.6.

@c0dd3vi11 2.0.6 is released!
