My Content is not viewable

Question

Hello,  I have created and added a shape and layer file to "My Content" and installed ArcGIS for Android on my phone.  I attempt to create a map but neither of the two files that I have added are found when I search for layers in "My Content".  When I access "My Maps" in the ArcGIS android app I get a message that states there is "no viewable content".  What types of content are viewable?

Thanks
John

Try the new Collector for ArcGIS app (10.2.2).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esri.arcgis.collector

Then, at a browser on a computer, load your zipped shapefile into your My Content area and be sure to make it a Feature Service.  Go to the new shapefile feature service details page and enable editing.  Open a new map, add your shapefile feature service, choose a map background then save the map.  On your Android device, open the Collector App and log into your ArcGIS Online account and find your new map.  Edit your points.

Just remember, for this you would need an organizational or a developer account.

yes it does, very helpful!!  I have added a few point layer's and am wondering if there is a way to edit them in the android app like you can with the arcgis.com map viewer?

Thanks
