I ve tried to get the attribute using the following way
     File dbf = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
     + "/islreali/TabaYeud.dbf");
     File shape = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
     + "/islreali/TabaYeud.shp");
     File shx = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
     + "/islreali/TabaYeud.shx");

     try {
            URL dbfUrl = dbf.toURI().toURL();
     EsriPlugIn epi = new EsriPlugIn("name", dbfUrl, shape.toURI().toURL(), shx.toURI().toURL());
            EsriGraphicList eGList = epi.getEsriGraphicList();
     Map<Object, Object> attr = eGList.getAttributes();
  } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
  }
In the above code, it throws an error when it reach the place wher we use EsriPlugIn. I get Noclassdef error. I think this is not supported in android as read from the below link
http://openmap.bbn.com/mailArchives/openmap-users/2011-03/6671.html

Cud anyone advise me how to read the shapefile attributes by using some other method of openmap or some other api.

i get the same Noclassdef error too,then i use the openmap 5.0 instead of 5.0.1,the error is missing,i can read the data from shp file but the speed is too slow. there is another resolution,"Spatialite for Android",just google it .

Can you tell me how to use the openmap after add the lib?
or show me a sample/tutorial of open shape file from SD card by openmap.

That's what the code I posted in this thread shows. It uses

com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ESRIPointRecord;
com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ESRIPoly;
com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ESRIPolygonRecord;
com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeFile;

from openmap.

Download code from:

http://www.openmap.org/

and then point to the jar files in the "lib" directory through the Java Build Path Libraries Tab in Eclsipse

I want to open polyline shapefile from SD card, can anyone guide on how to convert it into graphics layer? The code above in the thread is for the point and polygon shapefile.

"From where will I get SimpleMarkerSymbol class. I downloaded openmap 5.0 and the jars from there but could not find SimpleMarkerSymbol , Envelope , SpatialReference classes?"

Those are all part of the ArcGIS for Android API.

static public GraphicsLayer SHPtoPOINT(String shpfile) {
SpatialReference lSR = SpatialReference.create(26192);
Envelope lEnvolope = getSHPEnvelope(shpfile);//to create an extent for your graphics layer
GraphicsLayer graphicLayer = new GraphicsLayer(lSR, lEnvolope);

try {
   File file = new File(shpfile);
   ShapeFile shp = new ShapeFile(file);
   ESRIPointRecord e = (ESRIPointRecord) shp.getNextRecord();
   SimpleMarkerSymbol c_point = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(Color.BLACK, 1,
     STYLE.CIRCLE);
   while (e != null) {
    graphicLayer.addGraphic(new Graphic(new Point(e.getX(), e

Is it possible to get attribute from shapefiles and show shapefiles on bing map?

lcatania

where to store the shapefiles in sd card (location path)?

You can store it where ever you want. Just create folder on your SD Card. Usually you create a directory with the same name as your App and then you can create a directory under that. I call my subdirectory "Features", then I pass the shapefile name with full path to it to the constructor.

I added ability to read polygon data, but it makes the display extremely slow when zooming. I imagine it has to do with redrawing all the polygons. When just looking at Point shape files, it does not seem to have this issue. Anyone have any ideas how to speed it up. Also just loading the data makes the app take longer to start. Here is what I added. Still need to work on polylines.

you can work with openmap it has a class SHapefile and try to transform your shapefile to an graphicslayer it will work i've already done it

You can't with the api.

You could load the shapefile with a library and load all of the information into graphics layers. That would work, but the performance might not be acceptable.
