Good question.  Android itself has recently introduced a lot of great tech that addresses app size and app thinning. However, the ArcGIS Runtime API has a dependency on a very large native library that simply cannot be reduced. Your application code CAN take advantage of Android tools for shrinking, as this code is Java/Kotlin. But at the end of the day, it's the required native lib that cannot be reduced in size. I hope this helps. I know it's not the answer many are hoping for. This is where we are today. ... View more

I see this sometimes when there is a clash between 32-bit and 64-bit Java and native dlls. For example: 32-bit Java cannot load 64-bit native libraries. Which version of Runtime are you using: 32- or 64-? Which JRE are you launching your application with: 32 or 64? ... View more

Cluster rendering of feature layers is still something we are hoping to get into a future release. It won't be there for Update 5 (March/April 2019), but its on our radar. ... View more

If it helps at all, the C++ API is working brilliantly...   // create EncExchangeSet using paths encExchangeSet = new EncExchangeSet(QStringList("D:\\Enc\\ExchangeSetwithoutUpdates\\ENC_ROOT\\CATALOG.031"), this); connect(encExchangeSet, &EncExchangeSet::doneLoading, this, [this]{       // get the list of EncDataset       QList<EncDataset*> EncDatasets = encExchangeSet->datasets();       // display the names of EncDataset       for (EncDataset* EncDataset: EncDatasets)       {          // Create the cell and layer          myEncLayer = new EncLayer(new EncCell(EncDataset));          // Add the layer to the map           m_map->operationalLayers()->append(myEncLayer);        } }); // Load the EncExchangeSet encExchangeSet->load(); // Set map to map view m_mapView->setMap(m_map); ...

Hello Stephen, While putting together an example for you, we've discovered a bug that needs to be addressed before it can work properly. We will try to address this as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience! ... View more

Hello! You should look at the License your app—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS | ArcGIS for Developers  topic for 100.4. This is the current version. It's possible that your app would fall into the LITE deployment license category. If I understand the question correctly, it sounds like you would like to build a custom app and deploy it commercially (charge $$ for the app), using Ads. Yes? You can do this if you've purchased one of the ArcGIS Online Deployment Plans, starting at $20/mo. See ArcGIS Online Deployment Plans | ArcGIS for Developers for details. I hope I understood your question correctly.  Thanks! ... View more

Thanks for the question. Java Runtime has not been tested or certified with vaadin, but it would be very interesting to hear how you get on with this framework.  ... View more

Hi Thomas, There are a lot of conflicting stories and misinformation about the health and outlook of JavaFX. The truth is, all of the leads from both Oracle and OpenJDK are reassuring users that JavaFX is alive and well. I like the messaging in this article. Oracle is actively working on JavaFX and contributing to it in the OpenJFX and they are strongly encouraging the community to continue doing the same.  In the Java 9 effort to split the JDK into mods, many old pieces that didn't make sense anymore were simply cut. Web Start and Applets are gone. Not JavaFX. Nor Swing for that matter. JavaFX was put into OpenJFX and will remain there and continue to thrive through the community contributions. Having blabbered on too much about that, I appreciate your preference of Swing with Runtime. At this time, Esri has no plans to engineer anything Swing-specific back into the product. However, as long as developers can continue to bridge Swing and FX for Runtime applications, we will continue to assist as much as we can. The mixing of Swing and JavaFX is more common than folks might imagine. Good post, Thomas. Please keep sharing your thoughts and feedback! ... View more

I should clarify what we mean by "Customers who require Windows 32-bit support can request it by sending an email to QtRuntime32@esri.com. " Customers can inform us of their need for 32-bit, but access to the 32-bit version is not guaranteed. It is granted on a case by case basis, as we do not plan on supporting 32-bit in future releases.  I apologize for any confusion.  ... View more
