Spatial reference transformation

Hi,

I use a generated compact cache with ArcGISLocalTiledLayer (satellite images) with a specific spatial reference. Additionally I've points with WGS84 coordinates (these points are stored in a SQLite database, and added to a GraphicsLayer). Is it possible to transform the compact cache to WGS84 spatial reference within the ArcGIS Android SDK on the fly? Or do I have to do this task already on the original satellite images dataset, before I create the compact cache?
In general, is it possible to perform transformations with the SDK?

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian Greifeneder

Hi,

Have you looked at GeometryEngine.

Thanks for the hint!
Anyway, I didn't find a solution to transform a compact cache. So we'll reproject it already on the server and create the cache afterwards.

Since "geometryFromEsriShape" exist, is there a possibility to import a whole ESRI shape file? Or only the geometries?

Thanks,
Sebastian
