Generate a ShapeFile map.

Question

Hello everyone!

I'm developing an android app using Arcgis and I'm at a stage of development where I need to create a way to generate a .shp file from the map created. I would like to create a .shp file and save the file locally.

I read about extracting SHAPEFILES in this article , but I didn't find anything else.

I would like to know what is the best way to achieve this goal in android studio. If anyone has done something like this and can help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply Rama.
I don't think I asked the proper question for what I need.
This exported file can be in shapefile, KML, KML, .KMZ, .CSV, .TSV, .GPX ... I would like to know if there is any way to export the map generated after the work (After creating a route, polygons, etc. ..). I've already found some examples of creating KML files from the tablet/Cell location, but not working on the arcgis map. What would be the best way to achieve this goal?

Hi,

Unfortunately Runtime doesn't support writing shapefiles yet. It would require AGOL or ArcGIS Desktop to write data to shapefiles.

Thanks
