How to display a name attribute from a ShapefileFeatureTable on the map?

Question

Greetings,

I have a CSV file in the following form:

Name,Latitude,Longitude

VS01,2153797.44782777,-10702155.84486526

VS02,2157776.89764107,-10702274.58364621

I have generated the corresponding shape file and used a ShapefileFeatureTable and FeatureLayer, but when the shape is displayed on the map only the points are shown. How can I also visualize the name attribute to the corresponding points?

In the attached image is what I've done so far.

I need to do this using the API ArcGis SDK for Java

Edgar,

You need to set the labels in ArcGIS for Desktop and then Create a Runtime Content geodatabase. This works for me.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay of my response, I'd been working out.

Option 2 is not an alternative because I have a great number of points, and all of them are placed dynamically.

I've tried option 3 and works great. Thanks a lot.

But I'd like to have the labes there permanently, not only when mouse hovers them, so that I tried the option 1 inside a layerInitializeComplete listener (as the documentation commands) but it happens nothing. There is none of the labels. And I don't receive any exception. Is there a preparing procedure before turn the labels visibility on?

HI,

Well, there are some options:

1) Set labels for Feature Layer - setEnableLabels method

2) Make a use of TextSymbol for Graphic in Grpahic Layers

Add graphics and text—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers

3) Try to use MapTips

Show MapTips—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers

Hope this helps,

Adam
