The feature service does not support geodatabase sync

Question

I am working on an android app that should have offline capabilities like getting map and edit the features. I have access to just ArcGIS online and ArcGIS developer portal. I do not have the ArcGIS Desktop access.

I am using Android Run-time SDK to achieve this, I have created map area for the web map in ArcGIS online and through SDK I can fetch the map-area but I am not able to generate the Geo-database for the feature. It gives me a run time exception "The feature service does not support geodatabase sync" .

Following line is giving me Runtime Exception:

GenerateGeodatabaseParameters parameters = defaultParameters.get();

I am stuck at this point, not able to proceed further, need to know if I am missing any configuration or is there any other way to achieve this.

Thanks for the response. I have already enabled this. I would like elaborate more in this concern: STEP 1: I get map area using: ListenableFuture> mapAreasFuture = offlineMapTask.getPreplannedMapAreasAsync(); I download map area using: DownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob job = offlineMapTask.downloadPreplannedOfflineMap(mapArea, mmpkFilePath); Map area files that get downloaded are in 3 formats [ .mmap, .geodatabase, .tpk] STEP 2: I use following sample to generate geodatabase from the .tpk file and .geodatabase file. I am not sure about the uses of .mmap file. arcgis-runtime-samples-android/java/edit-and-sync-features at master · Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-android · GitHub and that's where I get exception while generating geodatabse. Note: GeodatabaseSyncTask.getFeatureServiceInfo().isSyncEnabled() is returning me 'false' everytime

Hi Devendra,

In ArcGIS Online, navigate to the feature service and click on the Settings tab.  You can enable sync there:
