Label Background doesnt work with ArcGIS Runtime

Question

Label background is not working within JMap in ArcGIS Runtime Java. But the local Server is able to export maps with background color from the local runtime server.

I also dont see any methods in the API. Even constructing it from the JSON is not working. Is this a BUG ?

Any idea when this can be fixed? We are unable to provide the label background now with Runtime API.

Hi Sachin,

I assume you are using LabelingInfo class. That requires the symbol to be a TextSymbol. Our TextSymbol does not support a background color property yet, so there is no API.

It worked with local server because it uses a different rendering pipeline.

Thanks,

Vijay
