Dynamic layer does not load or only after device rotation

Aloha,

My second SDK 1.0.1 issue is that sometimes my dynamic layer does not load, all I see is the basemap. However, if I rotate my device, the dynamic layer is then loaded.

Here is a video of the behavior:

What can I do to make sure the dynamic layer is consistently displayed (without the need to rotate the device)?

Mahalo!

I've been experimenting with adding refresh() right after adding the dynamic layer to the MapView and it seems to be working well. The dynamic layer now consistently displays upon opening the app.

But if anyone has other suggestions, I'm all ears. Thank you!

Could you send us the link to the layer? We have not seen this problem so far.

It doesn't happen with any one layer in particular but you can try this one:

Like I mentioned in my previous reply, it seems that calling refresh() after adding the layer helps.

Hi I wasnt able to reproduce it with the layers you sent me, but I will try it with others and let you know.

Bump, I'm noticing this behavior as well. It always initializes (OnStatusChangedListener.STATUS.INITIALIZED), and then sometimes renders, sometimes doesn't render, until I pan / zoom / rotate.

Also, I've not been able to ever get a dynamic or tiled layer to give a LAYER_LOADED status (even though I see it load). Am I misunderstanding what LAYER_LOADED means?
