Min SDK version

[uyt95]

Hi, when I tried upgrading to the latest release version of MapView, I noticed that you have increased to minimum sdk version from 23 to 24. I'm currently supporting version 23 with my apps and I was wondering what the reason for the increase was?

[p-lr]

You're right. I can't remember why I did that. I've just checked, and MapView compiles just fine against API level 23. I'll revert the change and publish a new version.

[Edit] For some reason the bintray repo doesn't take the new version - probably because I generate the same binary. Or maybe there's another issue.

It looks like it finally took it. 2.0.11 is published

Thanks for your help!

I think I found why you changed the min sdk version. I can run my app normally, but if I try to create a release build for uploading to the play store it fails with the following error message: Static interface methods are only supported starting with

The reason is because we use @JvmDefault in TileOptionsProvider, which was introduced in 2.0.5. TileOptionsProvider provides additional control on how each individual tiles are rendered. As you can see, this interface has default values:

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
}

However, this is only supported for Java code through the use of Java 8 features. I've just tested that on an Android app with min sdk 23 - it compiles successfully for a release build. All you have to do is add in the build.gradle (of the module which uses MapView):

android {
  ...
  // Configure only for each module that uses Java 8
  // language features (either in its source code or
  // through dependencies).
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
  // For Kotlin projects
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

Let me know if that solves your issue.

Thanks! This did solve the issue 😃
