[VTM] Map Style Remove Borderlines

[jvoyatz]

Hello,

I need to remove the borderlines as they are being shown in the attached picture.

I have read this post and also this and now i am able to load a render theme from assets.

However, I would like to ask whether it is possible to only a create a rule to remove the borderlines or do i need to manually create a new render theme to show all the items on the maps as it happens in the default theme styles?

To modify a render theme, you need to create a copy and change it.

The borders are probably here.

Thanks! I am dealing with this at the moment.

However i am getting this exception,

...org.oscim.theme.IRenderTheme$ThemeException: missing attribute src for element: symbol...

I have copied the default xml style into a custom file created and i am trying to use this theme when showing this map, but it shows me this exception.

You have an error in the theme xml.

You could use some modern xml editor with schema validation while editing.

You have an error in the theme xml.

I don't think that i am having an error, since i 've copied this file https://github.com/mapsforge/vtm/blob/master/vtm-themes/resources/assets/vtm/default.xml.

Probably it will be an error with the <rendertheme> tag, i can't say for sure.

If I download locally the xml file and open it with a map, it works correctly:

If you use an old VTM version, download an older default theme:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapsforge/vtm/0.15.0/vtm-themes/resources/assets/vtm/default.xml


Make sure you modify correctly the xml, with proper encoding, etc.

I am using the latest version.

I will try to clean my project and invalidate the Android Studio cache.

Thanks again!

there is also the possibility to edit Rules via a RuleVisitor, see this discussion for more information. Using the RuleVisitor i was able to stick to the normal theme and edit only the one Rule i needed to change

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion, it really seems a nice solution.

You are probably mentioning to this example : ThemeStylerActivity
