How to handle WKT data in Android?

Question

I have data in this format:

POINT(73.0166738279393 33.6788721326803)
MULTILINESTRING((73.0131224998036 33.679001500419,73.0119635003153 33.678392400389,73.01

A WKT (well-known-text) file describes an ISO 19107 Geometry. Personally I try to avoid re-inventing the wheel, or "mess" with them in self written parsers ( you never know, whether your function covers all situation just because it worked once).

So here's another nice looking open source API, with examples, tutorials:

http://docs.geotools.org/

And here the WKTParser class

Android Studio: Simply add this to your app build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    /* your other dependencies */
    compile 'org.opengis:geoapi:3.0.0'
}
