Since there isn't a version of SpatialiteLib 5.+ for Android, perhaps there is a different approach for what I want to do.
What I am doing is selecting all points from a database that lie within a buffer (ST_BUFFER) built around a given LINESTRING.
Since I don't have the option of specifying that I want flat ends to the buffer, is there a way to eliminate all selected points that lie within the beginning semi-circle of the buffer, that is the semi-circle centered on the beginning point of the LINESTRING, i.e., the beginning of the buffer?
BTW, if this question should be made a separate conversation, I will be happy to do so.
Regards,
Jim
