Old Jackson versions break Android Studio.

[Tukajo]

Importing the dependencies of Jackson Core 1.x.x and Jackson Mapper 1.x.x to an Android Studio project causes a "duplicate file" error. And it cannot be built.

Would this be fixed by updating the dynamodb-geo.jar to reference to the latest 2.x.x. Jackson versions?

Here is a link to a related SO post on the topic I made.

I don't understand enough about what's going wrong with Jackson 1.x.x in Android Studio to comment on whether upgrading to 2.x.x will fix the issue you're seeing, but if you'd like to put together a pull request upgrading to a newer version of aws-java-sdk that pulls in Jackson 2.x.x I'd be happy to take a look. Presumably as a 2.0.0 release of this library since it won't be binary-backwards-compatible?

Hopefully you've already seen it but and it's not an issue for you, but I'll copy this portion of the Limitations section from the Readme.md just in case: :)

Because Geo Library calls multiple DynamoDB Query requests and processes the results in memory, it is not suitable for mobile device use. You should maintain a Java server, and use the library on the server.

👍 on closing this issue. One shouldn't include this library in a mobile app, it should be used server side and the android sdks should be used to call lambda functions that use it.
