Releasing 1.0

[zugaldia]

Background

This repository (mapbox-java) contains two new artifacts, mapbox-java-services and mapbox-android-services which are the result of combining the original mapbox-geocoder-android and mapbox-directions-android projects as discussed in https://github.com/mapbox/gl-internal/issues/387#issuecomment-200399195.

New features

Besides combining our previous libraries, the codebase now has a number of additional features:

• Separates the pure Java code (e.g. for server use) from the Android-specific code.
• Includes support for v5 of the upcoming directions API.
• Supports the Mapbox Static API.
• Supports RxJava for all geocoding and directions requests in addition to the classic Call mechanism.
• Includes a lightweight implementation for Java GeoJSON objects.
• Includes additional tests.

@zugaldia This is exciting! I'm starting the Dogfooding Process with Sirius now.

[tobrun]

I did a quick code review and everything is looking great! Awesome stuff @zugaldia.

[zugaldia]

Thank you @tobrun for the 👀 !

@bleege I'd also love your feedback before checking that off, it can wait until after the Sirius work is complete.

@zugaldia Things are going great with the Mapbox Android Services (MAS) integration with Sirius Android. I've been using Driving V5, Walking V4, and Cycling V4 for Directions and the new MapboxGeocoding class for geocoding all week and things are 👌. My goal is to release by midday Friday so that everyone has time to test it out and keep things on track for the planned release next week.

Blog post is now drafted: https://github.com/mapbox/blog/pull/1107

We're on good track for a release early next week.

Sirius for Android running Mapbox Android Services has now shipped!

One thing I noticed when shipping it was some warnings regarding Proguard. Android Studio 2 is much more strict about this and wouldn't let me create a signed APK while the warnings remained. This lead to today's release not utilizing Progaurd.

[zugaldia]

Blog post is ready https://github.com/mapbox/blog/pull/1107, docs are ready to merge https://github.com/mapbox/android-sdk/pull/96, and the Sirius integration didn't find any blocking issues https://github.com/mapbox/sirius-android/issues/276 (https://github.com/mapbox/sirius-android/issues/279 will need doc work only).

I'm gonna proceed releasing the artifacts to Maven.
